Electromagnetic wave backscattering by corner reflectors in an anechoic chamber is studied using our developed computational tool. The tool applies the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method to simulate the propagation of the wave’s electric and magnetic fields. Experimental measurement in an anechoic chamber is also carried out as a comparison. The two results show agreement, including the finding that the backscatter intensity variation amongst the four circularly polarized modes is significantly smaller than the variation amongst the four linearly polarization modes.
