  • Abstract
    Small deviations from orthogonality can reduce drastically the backscattering radar cross section (RCS) of dihedral corner reflectors. The method of physical optics is used to calculate the magnitude of the reductions in RCS which result from modest departures from orthogonality. The theoretical results are then compared with experimental measurements which are found to be in very good agreement.
