  • Abstract
    Calculations have been made of the radar cross sections of imperfect spheres to circularly polarized radiation. The matrix method of Waterman was used and only imperfections having axial symmetry were considered. Some results for spheres with an equatorial cylindrical section are given for spheres up to six wavelengths in diameter.
