Research in Electromagnetic Scattering and Phase Space Methods in Radiation Propagation

摘要

This document constitutes a final report for our research in electromagnetic scattering during the years 2001-2003. The technical research accomplishments during each year divide conveniently into the areas of basic electromagnetic theory, scattering-matrix analysis of antenna arrays, and surface integral equations. Significant contributions were also made in the area of incremental length diffraction coefficients and toward the development of the Air Force cylindrical near-field scanning facility for measuring bistatic RCS. As principal investigator, Arthur D. Yaghjian carried out the major portion of the research, and coordinated his efforts with those of R.A. Shore, E.E. Altshuler, S.R. Best, U.H.W. Lammers, and R.A. Marr of the Air Force Research Laboratory, John Moore of SAIC, T.B. Hansen of Witten Technologies, T.H. O'Donnell of ARCON, and A.J. Devaney of A.J. Devaney Associates.
