Application of the New E-Field Solution to a Surface of Revolution.
Abstract
A computer program is given to implement the new E-field solution for the surface density of electric current and electric charge induced on a perfectly conducting surface of revolution immersed in the electromagnetic field of a plane wave. Unlike other E-field solutions, the new E-field solution works well for a surface whose maximum dimension is less than a hundredth of a wavelength. The computer program was written for axial incidence but can easily be modified to handle oblique incidence. Results obtained by using this computer program agreed with results obtained by using two other computer programs given here, one for Bouwkamp's power series solution for a conducting circular disk and one for the Mie series solution for a conducting sphere.
