Abstract
In order to develop an electromagnetic scattering model for turbulent wakes behind a re-entry vehicle, a laboratory facility for the measurement of the scattering from a turbulent plasma has been constructed. A diagnostic technique to measure the spectrum of the electron fluctuations within the plasma was first developed. The radar cross section of the turbulent plasma can then be measured and compared with the cross section predicted from the measured plasma properties.
