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

Figure 14

The backscattering RCS of the plasma sheath for the object flying at three different heights. The velocity, attack angle, and incident wave frequency are taken to be 10 Mach, zero degrees and 1 GHz, respectively. (a) For VV polarizations and (b) for HH polarization.
