The unit of the scattering amplitude the code defines is 'km' ? #22

Closed limilyli closed 2 years ago

According to the code of 'radar.py', when the unit of the wavelength is 'm', by using 'Ah = 8.686 x wavelength x Imag[Shh]' , we can get the specific attenuation in 'dB/km', so I guess, the unit of the scattering amplitude the code defines is 'km', is that right?

But if so, then, the unit of RCS is 'km^2/m^3', which seems unreliable.

Thanks for your help and patience!
