Abstract :
A numerical method is presented for the computation of backscattering cross section per unit length for parallel polarization at normal incidence of a plasma-clad metal cylinder. The technique employed is well suited for use on present-day high-speed computers. The method is capable of handling plasmas varying in an arbitrary manner in the radial direction.
