Abstract :
An experiment aiming at studying the scattering properties of a collection of dielectric cylinders placed on a reflecting plane has been performed by using the EMSL of the JRC of Ispra Italy. Experimental data have been compared with simulations performed with a coherent electromagnetic model.
