An H-Field Solution for a Conducting Body of Revolution

Abstract

The magnetic field integral equation for electromagnetic scattering from a perfectly conducting body of revolution is solved by the method of moments. A Fourier series in theta is used. The t dependence of the expansion functions is subsectional. Pulses are used for the theta component of the unknown electric current induced on the surface S of the body of revolution. Triangles divided by the cylindrical coordinate radius are used for the t component. Here, t and theta are orthogonal coordinates on S, t being the arc length along the generating curve of S and theta the azimuthal angle. A numerical solution is obtained by means of a computer program which is described and listed. This computer program is designed to handle oblique plane wave incidence efficiently.
