Use of point contributors model for a radar target taking into account mutual coupling by double reflection
Abstract
A generalization of previously established formulas for the radar cross-section of a system of two spheres is presented. In addition, a law of composition for the contributions to be used with the models of specular point contributors is given. Finally, a possible method of replacing a model of isotropic point contributors with couplings by a model without coupling, by the addition of imaginary isotropic points, is shown.
