"… [discusses] new methods for the computation of secondary radiation of
and
complicated aerial- and ground-based objects, taking into account many
complex factors not considered in earlier works. This is extremely important E

when estimating practical potentials of numerous radiolocation systems. … c Ground Radar Objects
A great deal of reference material is given on the scattering characteristics tr
o
of many important objects. [This material] will be of essential help to m
developers of new radars." a
