An important goal of this work is to find an iterative method which is useful for wavelengths much smaller than the scatterer. One application of the result is to determine corrections to physical optics. Particularly interesting examples are those to which physical optics is a poor approximation, even in the high-frequency limit. An example of such a problem is shown.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":11330,"journal":{"name":"Digest on Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"56 1","pages":"296-299 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77281466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerically, the scattering problem is formulated in terms of the equivalent currents on the surface of the scatterers, leading to a set of integral equations which are solved using the method of moments. The approach is flexible, as it can be applied to scatterers of varying sizes, shapes, and material composition. Results are presented for targets of complex composition, particularly with surfaces that are partially dielectric and partially metallic, and of various sizes and dimensional ratios around the resonance region.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":11330,"journal":{"name":"Digest on Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"51 1","pages":"750-753 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75070875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The image synthesis process applied to a reduced data set can be applied to a standard image in two minutes on a VAX 785 when the compressed data format is used. This is ten times faster than image synthesis of the corresponding original data, due to the smaller volume of the compressed data (10 Mb compared with 128 Mb per image). The errors introduced in the output images are on the order of 10/sup -3/.

Consideration is given to a circular cylinder loaded near the aperture of a small offset cylindrical reflector antenna as the blocking model. The overall radiation patterns, including the strut-scattering effects, are predicted by using the BEM and compared with measured patterns (at a frequency of 8 GHz) for verification. Although there appears to be some differences of levels at some wide-angle regions (due probably to a misalignment or measuring setup errors), the entire radiation pattern is found to be well predicted by the numerical data, thus proving the validity of the method.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":11330,"journal":{"name":"Digest on Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":"31 1","pages":"1195-1198 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75767744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
