Solution of Electromagnetic Boundary Value Problems of Complicated Structures. Theory of the Integral Equation Method

摘要

The theory for the determination of the radiation and scattering behavior of complicated structures with the aid of the integral equation method was studied. These structures may be complicated isolated radiators or shapes like helicopters or satellites, which are excited by an electromagnetic wave. The objective of the integral equation method is the determination of the surface currents, from which all electromagnetic parameters may be computed. For this reason two independent integral equations for the electric and magnetic field are derived from the vector wave equations by means of the second Greens' theorem. The field of application of these two equations is discussed in detail.
