Abstract: | The UTD corner diffraction solution for a perfectly conducting corner is empirically modified for the case of a dielectric corner. The dielectric may be lossless or lossy, but is assumed to be homogeneous. This modified solution is used to calculate the bistatic scattering from the tip of a dielectric pyramid. Sample calculations display some features of the scattering from a single lossy dielectric pyramid. To verify the solution, calculations are compared with backscatter measurements of a single pyramid that is cut from a homogeneous lossless dielectric (polyethylene). Calculations are then compared with measurements for the more pertinent case of bistatic scattering from a wall of pyramidal radar absorbing material |
