摘要
A simple moment solution is presented for the problem of electromagnetic scattering, from structures consisting of multiple, perfectly-conducting and dielectric bodies of arbitrary shape. The system is excited by a plane wave. The surface equivalence principle is used to replace the bodies by equivalent electric and magnetic surface currents, radiating into an unbounded medium. A set of coupled integral equations, involving the surface currents, is obtained, by enforcing the boundary conditions on the tangential components of the total electric and magnetic fields. The method of moments is used to solve the integral equations. The surfaces of the bodies are approximated by planar triangular patches, and linearly-varying vector functions are used for both expansion and testing functions. Some of the limitations of the method are briefly discussed. Results for the scattering cross sections are presented. The computed results are in very good agreement with the exact solutions or other available, published data. © 1991, IEEE. All rights reserved.
