Radar resonance reflection from sets of plane dielectric layers
The prediction of the Resonance Scattering Theory (RST) for the reflection coefficient from a set of two contiguous plane dielectric layers separating two semi-infinite dissimilar nonconducting media, is constructed and compared to the exact classical model solution. The comparison serves to: (a) sh...

The prediction of the Resonance Scattering Theory (RST) for the reflection coefficient from a set of two contiguous plane dielectric layers separating two semi-infinite dissimilar nonconducting media, is constructed and compared to the exact classical model solution.
