AN APPLICATION OF THE HYBRID MOMENT METHOD/GREEN'S FUNCTION TECHNIQUE TO THE OPTIMIZATION OF RESISTIVE STRIPS

Abstract

An automatic method of synthesizing resistive tapers is developed. This method embeds a hybrid moment method/Green's function inside a nonlinear optimization package. Using this technique, resistive tapers are rapidly synthesized for complex scatterers which can consist of multiple resistive strips, as well as large, arbitrary conducting regions. The method is applied to the optimization of resistive tapers that reduce the diffraction from conducting scatterers. [Vol. 8, No. 2 (1993), pp 128-143]
