Abstract
The general theory of scattering by a three-dimensional moving object is applied to the fields scattered by small particles and by dielectric spheres of arbitrary size. The incident wave is a time-harmonic plane wave. The receiver is assumed to be in action permanently. The spectra of the scattered signals have two infinite peaks. These peaks disappear when the receiver is activated during part of the time only. The influence of the time dependence of the incident wave is investigated, assuming the latter to be a plane wave with sinusoidal time-dependence, modulated by a Gaussian envelope.
