Abstract :
The backscattered waveform produced by a short electromagnetic pulse incident upon a metallic sphere clad with a radially stratified dielectric is considered. Typical results are presented which demonstrate the dependence of the specular and creeping wave returns on the permittivity gradient and thickness of the sheath.
