* * -7- Scattering cross section Xie, Yongjun（谢拥军） Department of Microwave Telecommunication Engineering Scattering cross section (I) A useful characterization of the scattering properties of an electromagnetic target is given by the bistatic scattering cross section. This quantity is an equivalent area proportional to the apparent size of the target in a particular direction ( with the apparent size determined by the amount of power scattered in that direction in response to an excitation that may be incident from some other direction). More precisely, it is the area that, if multiplied by the power flux density of the incident field, would yield sufficient power to produce by isotropic radiation the same intensity in a given direction in a given direction as that actually produced by the scatterer. Scattering cross section (II) ---- for two-dimensional situation In a two-dimensional problem, the scattering cross section ( sometimes known as the “echo width” ) can be defined in a similar fashion as an equivalent width proportional to the apparent size of the scatterer in a particular direction. Scattering cross section calculation for two-dimensional TM problems (I) Consider the two-dimensional situation involving a TM plane wave of the form (7.1) Impinging upon an infinite, cylindrical geometry. The only electric field component present in the problem is . The two-dimensional bistatic scattering cross section can be expressed as Where are ordinary polar coordinates. (7.2) Scattering cross section calculation for two-dimensional TE problems (I) In a two-dimensional TE problem, the magnetic field has only a z-component. For a plane wave excitation of the form (7.3) The bistatic scattering cross section may be determined from (7.4) Scattering cross section calculation for three-dimensional problems (I) For a three-dimensional geometry where all components of the electric and magnetic field are present, the bistatic scattering cross
