Abstract :
The radar-range equation, if not carefully applied, will indicate that power returned from corner-cube reflectors various as the inverse fourth power of the range. Careful attention to the meaning of each team in the equation leads to an inverse second-power relationship. This result is confirmed by analysis according to geometric optics.
