Calculation of the radii of curvature of short-wavelength electromagnetic waves after specular reflection from simple shape conductors
Abstract
Deschamp's matrix relations for the curvature of short-wavelength electromagnetic rays when specularly reflected from smooth conducting surfaces are reviewed and applications of these relations to double-bounce radar cross section estimation are discussed.
