Abstract :
To serve as a general introduction to the theoretical papers immediately following, the analytical techniques available for estimating the backscattering cross section of a metal target are reviewed. These are classified according to the dimension-to-wavelength ranges for which they are appropriate, and an attempt is made to interpret them in the light of the scattering processes involved. Some examples are discussed.
