  • Abstract
    Monostatic radar cross-section (RCS) results for five- and eleven-wavelength straight wires are presented. The numerical RCS values which are obtained from solving Pocklington´s integral equation for the induced current by collocation fall within 1 dB of the experimental measurements over all major lobes of the RCS pattern. The computer times required for the computations are 1.2 and 7.6 seconds for the five- and eleven-wavelength cases, respectively.
