The recursive convolution finite difference time domain method is addressed in the scattered
field formulation and employed to investigate the bistatic radar cross-section (RCS) of a
square conductive plate covered by a collisional inhomogeneous magnetized plasma. The
RCS is calculated for two different configurations of the magnetic field, ie, parallel and
perpendicular to the plate. The results of numerical simulations show that, for a
perpendicularly applied magnetic field, the backscattered RCS is significantly reduced when …
