The discrete-dipole approximation(DDA) is an important theoretical method for computing scattering and absorption of electromagnetic energy by a particle of arbitrary shape. DDA for scattering calculations, including its validity criteria is briefly presented in this paper. The backscattering cross-sections of liquid and ice oblate spheroids incidented by polarized waves which are propagating vertically to their rotation axis, are calculated by DDA. The theoretical results are compared with the experiment data obtained with a microwave measuring system. It is shown that the theoretical results are consistent with the experiment data in general. As a result, the reliability of theoretical result is proved. Theoretical and experimental analyses indicate that the backscattering ability of raindrops and ice particles presents a curved change as the particle size increases, and fluctuates in the so-called resonance region. It is clear that the computation accuracy of DDA depends mainly on the number %N% of dipoles or the value of the %mkd%. In this article, the technique for the experiment to measure the scattering of simulated raindrop and ice particle is also described.
