Abstract :
High-frequency scattering by a finite perfectly conducting right-circular cone is analyzed by modifying geometrical diffraction theory for application at and near nose-on aspects. Formulas appropriate for predicting principal-polarization radar cross sections as functions of frequency and aspect angle are presented. Calculations on a cone are in very good agreement with monostatic measurement data in the limited aspect interval 
, where 
, is the half-angle of the cone.
