title: Scattering by spheres with nonisotropic refractive indices.
abstract: Some results of experimental studies on microwave scattering by artificially constructed axially symmetric spheres with anisotropic refractive indices are presented. An approximation using Mie theory for spheres with appropriate orientation dependent indices of refraction is shown to provide a good explanation of the observed dependence of the complex forward-scattering amplitudes on target orientation.
