INVESTIGATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS IN THE FOCAL REGIONS OF A PARABOLOID RECEIVING OFF-AXIS.

Abstract

The problem of evaluating numerically the Debye-Picht Luneberg electromagnetic diffraction integrals in the short wavelength limit was investigated, and the method of stationary phase for evaluating these integrals was generalized for application to caustic regions. A test problem, involving the diffraction of a plane wave by a perfectly conducting paraboloidal reflector, was considered in this investigation. Results of sample calculations illustrating the techniques evolved are discussed. (Author)
