Abstract:

We develop an efficient method for polished metallic sphere’s scattering prediction in terahertz band when its frequency dispersion property is considered. By deducing scattering solution of the lossy metallic sphere, the radar cross section (RCS) of different metallic spheres is given at terahertz frequencies. The investigation of the RCS of polished metallic spheres shows the normalized RCS is always same to the metals’ normal incidence reflectivity when the sphere becomes electrically large. The metals which have high reflectivity (such as Al, Cu, Ag and Au) show that the corresponding RCS of the spheres is almost πa2 in terahertz band. The sphere’s RCS of the transition metal such as Fe begins to decrease obviously since the far infrared.
