Abstract :
Computation of the Bistatic Radar Cross Section in two dimensions from the near field evaluated by means of the Finite Element Method, is readily improved by taking advantage of the decomposition of the scattered field into cylindrical waves. This decomposition also allows us to check the relative error for both the near and far fields. Examples of application are provided
