Abstract :
The scattering behaviour of multi-layered dielectric and magnetic obstacles is a complex problem of great practical interest. The bistatic radar cross section (RCS) of two dimensional scatterers composed of lossy magnetic and dielectric materials, including perfect conductor metals (PEC), is obtained following a surface formulation, the method of moments (MoM) and a wavelet-like matrix compression technique.
