Abstract
A resonance effect of transient fields on a thin conducting wire is described. Based on the analysis of the wire's characteristic spectrum, its backscatter, bistatic, and specular scattering are investigated in response to a one-cycle sine waveform. The responding waveforms are discussed in terms of traveling waves. It is found that the resonance effect is directly associated with the excitation of a very strong traveling wave.
