Vector Parabolic Equation Method for the EM Scattering from PEC Objects in Half-Space
Keywords:
Electromagnetic scattering, half-space, parabolic equation methodAbstract
The vector parabolic equation method was widely used to analyze the electromagnetic scattering from electrically large PEC objects in free space. In this paper, it is applied for the analysis of the electromagnetic scattering from PEC objects in halfspace. By introducing both the incident field and the reflected field to illuminate the objects, the vector parabolic equation method can be used to efficiently calculate the radar cross-section of PEC objects with electrically large size in half-space. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method can efficiently give reasonably accurate results.
