Bistatic scattering matrix for a finite right-circular cylinder

The bistatic scattering matrix for a finite conducting right-circular cylinder has been derived using the geometrical theory of diffraction. Initial evaluation of the analysis showed a very good agreement between theoretical predictions and monostatic measurements of radar cross-section as a function of polarisation and aspect angle. This letter now establishes the validity of that analysis in bistatic applications and for calculating scattering phase as well as radar cross-section.
