Computer Program for Electromagnetic Coupling to a Conducting Body of Revolution with a Homogeneous Material Region.
Abstract
A computer program is given to calculate electromagnetic coupling to a perfectly conducting body of revolution with a loss-free homogeneous material region. The material region is also a body of revolution. It is bounded by an aperture and part of the surface of the conducting body. The maximum dimensions of the conducting body and its associated material region are of the order of a few wavelengths. The electromagnetic excitation is an obliquely incident theta-polarized plane wave. Application of the equivalence principle and subsequent enforcement of the boundary conditions for tangential fields give a set of integral equations. These equations are then solved by means of the method of moments. The computer program calculates the electric current induced on the surface of the conducting body and the equivalent electric and magnetic currents in the aperture. These currents radiate the field scattered by the conducting body and its associated material region. They also radiate the field transmitted through the aperture into the material region. The computer program is described and listed along with sample input and output data. (Author)
