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

Figure 8

The real parts of the complex relative dielectric constant of the plasma sheath for the object flying at different attack angles. The velocity and height are 10 Mach and 50 km above the ground, respectively. (a) At null attack angle; (b) at 5-degree attack angle; (c) at 10-degree attack angle; and (d) at 15-degree attack angle.
