            Abstract : 
A comparison between PO-GO, GO-PO, and PO-PO approaches for the computation of the contribution to the RCS of the double reflections between flat facets is presented. It is shown that for pairs of perpendicular facets the three approaches give nearly similar results. However when the facets are not perfectly perpendicular the approaches predict different RCS values even for quasi-perpendicular facets
