Abstract:
Electromagnetic scattering solutions are developed for coated perfectly conducting bodies of revolution (BOR) that satisfy the impedance boundary condition. The integral equation arising from the impedance (Leontovich) boundary condition is solved by use of the method of moments (MM) technique along with an Ansatz for the surface currents that is derived from physical optics (PO) and the Fock theory that is modified for imperfectly conducting surfaces. The MM solution is expressed in terms of two integral (Galerkin) operators. The form of the Galerkin expansion used results in a symmetric MM system matrix. The hybrid solution is specialized for BOR's although the approach is applicable to a broader class of scatterers as well. The results are compared with the Mie solution for penetrable spherical scatterers, which satisfy the impedance boundary condition, and with recently published MM solutions for nonspherical scatterers.
