Abstract :
A simple moment procedure is used to compute the scattering cross section of a small radome of arbitrary shape. Numerical results are presented for a radome with Von Karmon shape and a spherical shell. The computed and exact results for the spherical shell are in good agreement. Data for the Von Karmon shape are presented but not yet assessed. The method presented is found to be mainly limited to radomes in the resonance region since as the size of radome increases, the number of unknowns required for reasonable convergence drastically increases
