Infrared Detection of Surface Charge and Current Distributions.
Abstract
Knowledge of the charge and current distributions is essential in many applications of antenna design and placement, electromagnetic scattering, and electromagnetic compatability. Although it is possible to measure these quantities directly on a given object using electrically small probes, it is an extremely slow, tedious, and expensive process. To avoid this, computer analysis of structures has become increasingly important. These models require assumptions concerning geometry, wire size, boundary conditions, and the like. In all such investigations, model verification has become important. Clearly, a technique yielding real-time measurement of charge and current magnitude distributions has obvious advantages.
