Integral Solution for Diffraction Problems Involving Conducting Surfaces with Complex Geometries. 2. Application to Ellipsoidal Surfaces
Abstract
In part I of this series we generalized the expressions for q and p obtained by Stratton for a plane wave incident upon a plane surface to the general case of an arbitrary surface. In the present paper we apply the theory developed in part I for ellipsoidal surfaces. Numerical results are given for a wide range of radiation wavelengths and object sizes to present quantitatively the different physical properties of the scattered fields resulting from the irradiation of an arbitrary metal surface. The paper is divided into five sections. In Section 2 the mathematical formalism of part I is applied to ellipsoidal surfaces located in a parallel field. In Section 3 numerical results are presented for the local and integrated absorptions. In Section 4 numerical results are given for the surface currents and the scattered far fields. Our conclusions are stated in Section 5. Keywords: Reprints, Refractive index, Surface, Waves.
