  • Abstract
    An approximate theory is presented to account for the scattering of focused electromagnetic waves by a turbulent rocket-exhaust jet. The predicted noise spectrum is found to be in good agreement with experimental results obtained at 9 and 14 GHz. However, it is recognised that the transverse-beam configuration is rather insensitive to variations in certain jet parameters, such as the turbulence scale.
