SCATTERING FROM ROTATIONALLY SYMMETRIC METALLIC BODIES.

Abstract

This work is concerned with a theoretical evaluation of electromagnetic scattering from metallic bodies of revolution for an arbitrary longitudinal cross-section. The problem is solved by an exact integral equation method. The validity of the computer program developed has been verified by comparing the results for scattering by a sphere with exact analytical results which are available for this special case. Numerical results are presented for the current distribution induced on a number of test bodies such as a rod, a cone sphere and a disc. (Author)
