Electromagnetic Scattering by Conducting by Bodies of Revolution-- Solution Using Sub-Domain and Entire-Domain Basis Functions

Abstract

In this work, the problem of electromagnetic scattering of a plane wave incident on a conducting body of revolution is considered. The body is assumed to be situated in infinite homogeneous space. The problem is solved using the method of moments. Use of two different types of expansion and testing functions, namely, sub-domain type and entire-domain type is considered. Results obtained using sub-domain pulse functions and entire-domain Gaussian functions are presented. The relative advantages and disadvantages of each type of basis functions is discussed. Keywords: Electromagnetic scattering, Method of moments, Bodies of revolution, Entire domain functions, Subdomain functions.
