Description

This paper discusses an indirect estimate of the radar cross section (RCS) of a conducting cylinder with a partially convex cross-section under the condition that backscattering enhancement occurs in a random medium. Once we evaluate the spatial coherence length (SCL) of the incident waves around the cylinder in the random medium, we may estimate the RCS approximately from the RCS in free space with beam wave incidence in which the spot size equals the SCL. This method is restricted only to the case where the SCL is larger than the target size.
