  • Abstract
    A general formula is derived for the scattering cross section of a passive n -element linear array consisting of isotropic radiators. When all the reactances are tuned out and scattering in the mirror direction is investigated, it is found that A_{sr} , the relative scattering cross section is equal to the square of the maximum gain the array can produce. As a consequence, for forward scattering in the limiting case of zero spacing between the elements, A_{sr} = n^{4} .
