High-frequency backscattering properties of quasi-omnidirectional corner reflector: The great-icosahedral-like reflector
Source abstract
Abstract
The backscattering of perfectly conducting great-icosahedral-like reflectors is studied in the high-frequency domain. This particular faceted polyhedron, composed of 60 trihedral corner reflectors, is introduced to obtain closer omnidirectional backscattering. Due to the high cost of traditional methods, an estimation method for the full-polarized radar cross section is proposed, which is modified from the geometrical optics approximation method. The validity of the improved method is discussed, and its velocity is determined. The estimated results of the reflectors are studied, which lead to a conclusion that this complex structure has high-frequency properties of quasi-omnidirectivity and depolarization.
