Backscattering

In telecommunication, the term backscattering has the following meanings: 1. Radio wave propagation in which the direction of the incident and scattered waves, resolved along a reference direction (usually horizontal) are oppositely directed. A signal received by backscattering is often referred to as "backscatter." 2. In optics, the scattering of light into a direction generally opposite to the original one.
