Abstract :
A numerical method that was developed and applied to investigate the scattering properties of targets of prismatic shapes is used to study backscattering from cubes in the resonance region. The scattering properties of the same targets are determined experimentally at 10 GHz. The present method is extended to study the contribution of various modes, and the capability of the method as applied to corner incidence is studied. The geometry under consideration is a conducting cube and selected results for the backscattering are shown.<>
