Radar detection of an airplane flying near the ground is not possible. To solve this problem, we analyze electromagnetic wave scattering by a conducting cylinder located near the conducting plane. The backward and omnidirectional scattering patterns and field distributions (E and H wave) near the cylinder are derived for the plane wave incidence. A similar analysis is made for a cylindrical wave. The theory is confirmed by a model experiment using a linear current source at 9.6 GHz.
