ELECTROMAGNETIC-RADIATION AND SCATTERING FROM FINITE CONDUCTING AND DIELECTRIC STRUCTURES - SURFACE SURFACE FORMULATION

An efficient and accurate numerical procedure is proposed to analyze the electromagnetic scattering and radiation from arbitrary shaped, composite finite conducting and dielectric bodies. A set of coupled electric field integral equations has been used, involving surface equivalent electric and magnetic currents. The coupled integral equations are then solved through planar triangular patch modeling and method of moments. In this method, two separate, mutually orthogonal vector functions for each edge connecting a pair of triangular patches have been developed. Numerical results for disk/cone and cylinder/cone structures are compared with other available data. Limited comparison with experimental data has also been made.
