Abstract :
This paper discusses the effect of circular polarization on the radar cross-section of conducting targets in random media. Scattering from concave and convex illumination regions is considered. We assume random media with different spatial coherence lengths. The behavior of RCS undergoes smooth fluctuations in both cases of free space and random medium. However this oscillated behavior is less than that in case of H-polarization as already shown in the previous work
