THE SCATTERING OF MICROWAVES FROM MULTIPLE SPHERES

Abstract

An approximate method of calculating the back scattered energy of certain types of arrays of spheroids using geometrical optic is applied to the case in which spheres are merged to a single sphere. Supplementary data were assimilated which allows the determination of the relative back scattered energy for all angles of incidence. Thus there exists an accurate experimental spectrum of the back scattering cross-section of these arrays for the range of separations at which the individual scattering hypothesis cannot be reasonably assumed.
