ELECTROMAGNETIC SCATTERING BY PARTIALLY INHOMOGENEOUS DIELECTRIC BODIES OF REVOLUTION

摘要

Methods for the computation of electromagnetic scattering by partially inhomogeneous dielectric bodies are considered.. The formulations are based on hybrid volume/surface integral equations (VIE/SIE), where volume-equivalent currents are used to model the inhomogeneous parts of the body while surface currents are responsible for satisfying the boundary conditions at the body surface. The algorithms are developed for so-called bodies of revolution (BOR); however, the underlying equations are fully general and may be applied to any 3D objects.
