Implementation and Hybridization of Physical Optics, Born Approximation, and Ray Tracing

摘要

The frequency domain simulation of the scattering behavior of electrically large homogeneous dielectric objects, especially in the context of inverse scattering, is a challenging task well suited for the application of the method of physical optics. In this paper we propose the hybridization of the method of physical optics, the Born-approximation and ray tracing to effectively simulate large scale surface and volume scattering problems as well as provide details regarding the implementation.
