Summary :

The periodicity of a target scattering matrix is studied when the target is rotated about the sight line of a monostatic radar. Except for the periodicity and invariance of the scattering matrix diag(a,a), it is proved that only helixes have the quasi-invariance, and that only N-targets have the quasi-periodicity, demonstrating that a target with some angle rotation symmetry also has the scattering matrix form diag(a,a). From this result, we conclude that it is impossible to extract the shape characteristics of a complex target from its scattering matrix or its Kennaugh matrix.
