An Analysis of the Back-Scattering Properties of a Cluster of Corner Reflectors at X-Band Frequencies

Abstract

A study of the back-scattering properties of a cluster of four square-corner reflectors is carried out, and the results used to calculate approximately the radar cross-section of a cluster of four corner reflectors with a circular back-plate. It is shown that this cluster of corner reflectors with sides 0.225 metres long has an average radar cross-section greater than one square-metre over a wide range of incident angles at X-Band frequencies.
