Measurements of Backscattering from a Dihedral Corner in a Reverberating Chamber
Keywords:
Anechoic chamber, dihedral corner, reverberating chamberAbstract
In this paper, the backscattering of a dihedral corner is evaluated by measurements accomplished within the reverberating chamber (RC) of the Università degli Studi di Napoli Parthenope, formerly Istituto Universitario Navale (IUN). The obtained results are found in good agreement with those of a previous very accurate model, whose validity was assessed by anechoic chamber measurements.
