H-Field, E-Field, and Combined Field Solutions for Bodies of Revolution

Abstract

H-field, E-field, and combined field solutions are developed for the electric surface current and far scattered fields of a perfectly conducting body of revolution excited by an incident plane wave. These solutions are obtained by applying the method of moments to the H-field, E-field, and combined field integral equations, respectively. The H-field integral equation is obtained by requiring the tangential magnetic field to be zero just inside the surface S of the body of revolution. The E-field integral equation is obtained by requiring the tangential electric field to be zero on S. The combined field integral equation is a linear combination of the H-field and E-field integral equations. Computations show that both the H-field and the E-field solutions deteriorate near internal resonances of the conducting surface S, but that the combined field solution does not. The computer program subroutines used to perform these computations will appear in a forthcoming report.
