Abstract
The short-pulse radar return of a cone-sphere was measured to determine the contribution of individual scattering elements to the total scattered field. Experimental results are presented which show the existence of the creeping-wave contribution and also demonstrate it to be the predominant contribution to the return from this body at nose-on incidence.
