Studies in Radar Cross Sections XLIX: Diffraction and Scattering by Regular Bodies III: The Prolate Spheroid
Abstract
This is the third in a series of summary reports on the general subject of electromagnetic and acoustical scattering by certain bodies of simple shape. Consideration is limited in general to problems of diffraction or scattering where the source of energy is exterior to the scatterer (one exception is the case of a point dipole located at the tip of a spheroid, which is immediately obtainable from a more general form). The body of the report consists of three distinct components, the first and most extensive consisting of a largely verbal discussion of the methods and principles employed in the various solutions of spheroidal functions, the second being a tabulation of the most essential results and the third containing the graphical representations of these and the experimental findings.
