SURFACE FIELD DATA FOR CONE-SPHERE-LIKE OBJECTS

Abstract

In the course of a recent study of the currents excited on the surfaces of various metallic objects by an incident plane wave, the surface fields were measured for a number of cone-sphere-like objects. The prime purpose in making these measurements was to provide a basis for the development and checking of formulae for predicting the scattering behavior through approximations applied to the surface fields, and the conclusions reached from analyses of the data are described in The University of Michigan Radiation Laboratory Technical Report No. 7030-8-T. It is felt that the experimental data may be of some interest, and could be of particular value to those concerned with the verification of digital computer methods for the derivation of the surface field from the appropriate integral equations. A selection of the surface field traces has therefore been assembled and is presented.
