  In this paper we analyze a recent experiment conducted in an anechoic
chamber, where the scattering of microwaves from an array of metallic cylinders
was measured. This is a system which displays chaotic scattering in the short
wave limit. The analysis of the experimental data is aimed at elucidating the
effects of the underlying chaos. We describe a robust numerical method which
provides the scattering matrix for any number of non overlapping reflecting
cylinders. We use this method to calculate the scattering from one, two and
three cylinders, and to compare the results in the numerical simulations with
those obtained in the experiment. Both simulations and measurements validate
the presented theory.
