Abstract

Backscattering enhancement phenomenon has attracted considerable attention from radar engineering and remote sensing fields. This paper investigates the phenomenon by analyzing numerically the bistatic radar cross-section (RCS) of a conducting circular cylinder embedded in a continuous random medium. The RCSs of different size cylinders are depicted by changing the fluctuation intensity and thickness of the random medium. As a result, strong backscattering-enhancement and oscillation in the neighborhood of the backward direction are observed for a wavelength-size cylinder embedded in a strong random medium.
