A Fast Algorithm for Treating EM Scattering by Bodies of Revolution

Abstract

Summary The problem of electromagnetic scattering by bodies of revolution is considered. The generation of the matrix elements of the moment method consumes a major portion of the computational time. This time is primarily spent in evaluating the modal Green’s functions which is usually evaluated using an adaptive numerical integration method. The aim of this work is to use the Bartky's adaptive quadrature to enhance the computation of these functions. The method is very efficient and can be easily embedded in existing codes.
