Keywords: Radar cross section of metal sphere from Mie theory.svg ValidSVG en Monostatic radar cross section RCS of a perfectly conducting metal sphere as a function of frequency computed by Mie theory The x-axis is the relative frequency defined as the number of wavelengths in the circumference and equal to the wavenumber times the radius i e f<sub>rel</sub> 2Ï R/λ kR The y-axis is the RCS relative to the projected area of the sphere i e σ/ Ï R<sup>2</sup> The asymptotes are σ/ Ï R<sup>2</sup> 9 f<sub>rel</sub> <sup>4</sup> in the low frequency Rayleigh region λ > 2Ï R and σ/ Ï R<sup>2</sup> 1 in the high frequency optical limit λ << R own Catslash 2009-06-27 Radar cross-section |
