            Abstract : 
A new type of scattering range is described in which the radar reflection properties of objects are measured by inserting them into a transmission line. The theoretical justification for this technique is presented on the basis of the reciprocity theorem. The results of a testing program are used to indicate the advantages and limitations of the transmission line scattering range.
