Abstract :
In this paper we have analyzed numerically the RCS of partially convex conducting targets of large sizes of about three wavelengths in continuous random media. Here, we assume that waves around target are incoherent and the spatial coherence length (SCL) keeps a finite value. In this work, we considered the, case when the incident wave illuminates the convex portion of a concave-convex target. From numerical results, we have found out that there are two important effects on the RCS: the target configuration and the SCL.
