Reduction of Backscattering by Impedance Loading.

Abstract

Reduction of nonspecular backscatter from a thin square conducting plate with the leading edge parallel to the electric field by impedance loading is studied in this report. The plate is modeled with a wire-grid structure. With a thin-wire computer program for calculating the backscatter and a generalized compensation theorem, optimal lumped impedances can be chosen such that significant reductions of nonspecular backscatter can be chosen such that significant reductions of nonspecular backscatter can be achieved for plate sizes ranging from L/lambda = .1 to L/lambda = 1.4.
