Abstract :
A high frequency technique based on an iterative physical optics approach is developed for predicting polarimetric radar backscattering behavior of power lines of arbitrary strand arrangement. The validity of the model was verified by comparing the calculated RCS with the measured data at 94 GHz and is found to be in a good agreement.
