Radiation and Scattering from Bodies of Revolution

Abstract

The problem of electromagnetic radiation and scattering from conducting bodies of revolution, both loaded and unloaded, is considered. The solution is obtained by the method of moments applied to the integro- differential equation, and is expressed in terms of generalized network parameters. Computer programs are given for plane-wave scattering and for radiation from apertures. The programs are valid for solid bodies, zero thickness conductors, and bodies with points and edges. The solution for planar bodies is also a solution for diffraction through apertures in a conducting plane, according to Babinet's principle. Representative computations are given for scattering and radiation from disks, washers, toroids, hemispheres, and cone-spheres.
