Main Article Content
Abstract
The radio wave scattering from lampposts in urban areas is analyzed. The lamppost is modeled as a finite-length conducting cylinder and the approximate theoretical values of its bistatic radar cross section (RCS) are compared to those experimental values obtained from a propagation channel measurement campaign in two urban environments. In the theoretical derivation it is assumed that two waves, direct and ground-re°ected, are incident to the lamppost, whereas only direct scattering is assumed due to the directive receiver (Rx) antenna. The CDF of the theoretical RCS of the cylinder and those of the lamppost derived from measurement data exhibit a close agreement.
