  • Abstract
    The authors present theoretical and experimental bistatic scattering and backscattering results from a tapered resistive sheet. It is shown that it is possible to lower the bistatic scattering and backscattering sidelobe levels of a resistive sheet by tapering the resistivity. The experimental and theoretical results shown some disagreement in the low sidelobe region because of errors in the resistive taper, experimental errors, the return from the styrofoam mount, and the joining of the two tapered sheets to form a symmetrically tapered sheet.<>
