The method is based on the representation of the scattered field by an integral over the surface current distribution. The integrand is treated by identical transformations in such a way that the singular terms can be integrated analytically, while the remaining nonsingular terms are integrated numerically. The surface current distribution is determined by the magnetic field integral equation. The theory is validated by experiments by means of the scattered field of a metallic cube with an edge length of a wavelength. The normal and tangential electric near-field of the cube is measured by small probes, and the results are compared with those of the theory. The theoretical results of the near-field distribution of a cube and an airplane are presented using lines of constant phase.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":264366,"journal":{"name":"Antennas and Propagation Society Symposium 1991 Digest","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123730229","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}

This approach requires the solution of the field scattered by each sphere assumed to be alone in the incident field, which acts as an incident field on the other spheres. Therefore, the first-order scattered field results from the excitation of each sphere by the incident field only, while the second-order scattered field results from the excitation of each sphere by the sum of all first-order scattered fields. Hence, this iterative process continues until the solution converges. One of the advantages of employing this approach is that the proposed solution does not require matrix inversion and therefore the desired scattered field coefficients are obtained after each iteration and used in the subsequent iteration. Numerical results are plotted for the normalized backscattering and bistatic cross section patterns for various electrical separations, radii, and angles of incidence.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":264366,"journal":{"name":"Antennas and Propagation Society Symposium 1991 Digest","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124265563","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}

Each layer contains different types of scatterers to account for the tree components (leaves, branches, trunk). The Helmholtz integral along with the radiative transfer equations is used to calculate the phase matrices of the tree components and the backscattering coefficients of the trees. It is found that the echo area within any tree can be very different between VV and HH, especially at the tree top. For a group of trees. the levels of VV and HH are of the same order and their angular trend depends on the tree architecture.

The POHM program is tested with geometrical optics, geometrical theory of diffraction, and measured data. It is seen that the accuracy of the POHM is quite satisfactory for large ground plates. In the angular region, z>or=0, the accuracy of the POHM is very high because the physical optics currents on the body are included. However, the accuracy decreases because the POHM assumes that no currents exist on the shadow area (z<0) of the surface on the body.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":264366,"journal":{"name":"Antennas and Propagation Society Symposium 1991 Digest","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127788443","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}
