Abstract

An approximate method to compute rough estimates of the broadside radar return from axially symmetric ionized gas columns is presented and applied to an illustrative example The method uses a continuum approach and takes into account the electron-neuti al collision frequency and both axial and radial variation of electron density The local reflectivity is determined as a function of axial position along the column, and these values of reflectivity are used, in turn, to obtain radar cross section estimates
