function [rcs] = rcs_rect_plate (a, b, freq)
% This program computes the backscattered RCS for a rectangular 
% flat plate. The RCS is computed for vertical and horizontal
% polarization based on Eq.s(2.50)through (2.60). Also Physical
% Optics approximation Eq.(2.62) is computed.
% User may vary frequency, or the plate's dimensions.
% Default values are a=b=10.16cm; lambda=3.25cm.
