| Abstract: | An experiment to determine the forward-scattering complex amplitude functions of waterdrops supported in a vertical wind tunnel is described. The measuring system is calibrated using a metal sphere of accurately known diameter. Measurements at 11 GHz on waterdrops in the range 1.6?3.1 mm radius are compared with theoretical values obtained by Oguchi using the point-matching technique. |
