Modelling of Electromagnetic Scattering by a Hypersonic Cone-Like Body in Near Space

Figure 10

The influences of the plasma sheath on the backscattering RCS for the object flying at different velocities. The attack angle and height are taken to be zero degrees and 30 km above the ground. (a) For VV polarization and (b) for HH polarization.
