Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A mathematical model of the process of measuring the angular dependence of the modulus of the reflection coefficient of highly effective radio absorbing materials and coatings using a dihedral corner reflector and a flat plate is developed. The results of measurements of the modulus of the reflection coefficient of these materials in plane and special irradiation fields are presented.
