View the computed scattering width as a function of the bistatic observation
angle (ϕ) for a cylinder radius of
r=0.1 and r=0.6.
The scattering width is obtained by using the equation at the top of
the example with the values provided to simplify to
.
To use the equation in POSTFEKO, ensure
the magnitude of the electric field is displayed.

r=0.1 and r=0.6 where
r is the radius of the cylinder.
Compare the results with the literature reference (C.
A. Balanis, Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics, Wiley, 1989, pp. 607.).
The results agree well with the literature reference.
