Abstract :
The bistatic scattering cross section of a reentry vehicle with wake of nonuniform axial conductivity is investigated using a simple model. For some typical physical parameters normalized radar cross sections are presented in tabular form for a reentry vehicle with wake of exponentially decreasing axial conductivity.
