Abstract

By using suitably defined logarithmic derivative functions and the recurrence formulas due to Infeld, the problem of obtaining numerical answers for the scattering of a plane electromagnetic wave by a sphere can be simplified. This is particularly true if the sphere has a complex index of refraction. The nature of these logarithmic derivative functions is shown for one special case involving water spheres. Experimental results are given for the back-scattering cross sections of water spheres in the electrical size region 0.74≤2πa/λ≤5.90. These results were obtained at a wavelength of 16.230 cm using the standing-wave method of measurement. It is believed that these were the first laboratory measurements of the back-scattering cross section made on individual water spheres in this critical size region. Comparison is made between the experimental and theoretical results.
