In this paper, the finite‐length multilayer dielectric cylinder is used to model a trunk, and the electromagnetic scattering model for two adjacent trunks above a rough surface ground plane is analyzed by using the reciprocity theorem. The scattering amplitudes including the second‐order scattering terms are given. The influence of the bark layer on the scattering pattern is discussed at L ‐band, C ‐band and X ‐band. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 20: 369–376, 1999.
