Rigorous Diffraction Theory.
Abstract
The equivalent dipole moments of a perfectly conducting Rayleigh scatterer are expressed in terms of polarization and virtual mass tensors which are independent of the incident field. For bodies of revolution only three elements are needed to completely characterize low frequency electromagnetic scattering. Extension to penetrable objects is discussed and the necessary integral representations of the dipole moments are found. An integral equation formulation of a class of scattering problems involving smooth objects is shown to be soluble by standard iteration. Results are obtained analytically and numerically for a variety of obstacle configurations. (Author)
