“…The same configuration was treated by Chao and Strait [2] and the current distributions on the crossed-wire configurations were discussed. A subsequent study was made by Butler [3], who presented numerical results of-a pair of skew crossed wires and compared his data for the special case of perpendicular wires with those evaluated by Taylor and Chab. In King's recent papers [4] ~ [SI ~ zero-order and first-order solutions were derived for the 'currents induced on crossed wires illuminated by an obliquely incident plane wave.…”

Abstract-A crossed-wire scatterer has the wires displaced in the backscattering direction, and is able to scatter an incident wave of circular polarization in such a way that the backscattering wave has the same rotational sense as that of the incident wave. The radiation performance of the scatterer is improved by bending the horizontal and the vertical wires. Arrays consisting of crossed-wire scatterers are constructed and the backscattering cross sections (BSCS's) are calculated. It is revealed that the increase in the current amplitude due to the mutual effects among the array elements contributes to enhancement in the BSCS. It is also shown that a maximum value of the BSCS of an array of 3 x 3 bent crossed-wire scatterers is 1.8 times as large as that of a dihedral comer reflector which has the same aperture area. The BSCS's as a function of the angle of incidence are presented with experimental results at a frequency Of 9.375 GHz.
