Abstract :
The scattering properties of solar-cell panels to be used on satellites are experimentally exploited. Measurements are made on individual solar cells inserted into waveguides (KU band) and then on solar-cell panels in anaechoic room. The possibility of describing the surface properties of the solar-cell panel as an imperfect conductor is demonstrated.
