Abstract :
In this paper we present a study on the effects of the beamwidth on the backscattering enhancement of waves from object in random medium. Considered random medium as turbulence is isotropic with different strengths of correlation functions. Targets take sizes more than twice of the wavelength in free space to suit object dimensions of real world such as aircrafts. Horizontal incident wave polarization (E-wave incidence) is assumed.
