Abstract :
A new method has been developed for minimizing the back-scatter of a conducting plate. This method consists of placing a loaded wire loop in front of the plate. By adjusting the loading of the loop the induced current on the loop can be modified to cancel the effect of the induced current on the plate so that the total backscatter is minimized. This method has been verified experimentally to be very effective (up to 25 dB reduction) and it should have great practical applications.
