Space-Time Integral Equation Approach to Dielectric Targets.

Abstract

This report describes the extension of the space-time integral equation approach to scattering from dielectric solids. The theory of the space-time integral equation approach is presented and verified by comparison with the classical solution for scattering from a sphere. The technique and solution for scattering from a complex target consisting of wings on a fuselage are presented based on a model closely resembling a Tomahawk missile. Experimental verification of the calculations is provided by time domian scattering range response measurements on a variety of targets. (Author)
