for "backscattering coefficient" : Backscattering also plays a part in the reception of radio waves, where it is commonly expressed in terms of a coefficient, which is said to measure the "echoing area." (...) For large objects, the backscattering coefficient of an object is approximately the product of its interception area by its scattering gain in the direction of the source, where the interception area is the projected geometrical area and the scattering gain is the reradiated power gain relative to an isotropic radiator. 2, record 1, English, - backward%20scattering%20coefficient
