Abstract :
The backscatter from conducting and from dielectric spheres is considered in the time domain. Utilizing rigorously computed values of the amplitude and phase of the continuous wave backscatter, short pulses of electromagnetic waves are synthesized by Fourier series. The resultant response is examined as a function of time, and the individually resolvable returns are compared with some approximate theories.
