The method takes advantage of the fact that the Fourier transform of the unknown surface current distribution is proportional to the scattered far field. Two methods are developed for systematically improving the initial form of the high frequency asymptotic solution by manipulating the integral equation in the Fourier transform domain. Two salient features of the transform method are that it provides a convenient validity check of the solution and that it yields both the induced surface current density as well as the far field. Several illustrative examples that demonstrate the usefulness of the approach for handling a variety of electromagnetic scattering problems in the resonance region and above, and comparison with other methods are included in this paper.","PeriodicalId":377507,"journal":{"name":"1976 6th European Microwave Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130393431","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 assumption that the width of the stripline is sufficiently large so that interaction between the edges may be neglected, has been invoked. In addition, it is assumed that the central strip conductor is located centrally between the ground plane and the shielding plate. This high degree of symmetry leads to a canonial geometry where we have a groundplane supporting a substrate of ferrite (x>o) and dielectric (x<o) or of ferrite alone. The substrate, in turn, supports a conducting half plane for x>o.","PeriodicalId":377507,"journal":{"name":"1976 6th European Microwave Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123652325","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}

Recent research into the human visual system has led to Fourier models of the visual cortex, and the proposition that object recognition is possible on relatively few critical low spatial frequency components. It is therefore possible to suppress interfering noise without losing essential object information by designing a suitable filtering function compatible with the human modulation transfer function, noise and object spectral distributions. A technique is described in which an unrecognizable microwave image distribution is processed to yield a clearly identifiable target shape.","PeriodicalId":377507,"journal":{"name":"1976 6th European Microwave Conference","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122091767","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}
