EM Scattering from Bodies of Revolution using the Locally Corrected Nystrom MethodAbstract
The locally corrected Nystr¨om method is applied to the magnetic field integral equation for a conducting body of revolution. A construction method is presented for the locally corrected weights for the resulting one-dimensional coupled scalar magnetic field integral equations. Special attention is paid to minimizing the cost for multi-frequency computations. Numerical results are presented for the sphere, oblate spheroid, and right circular cylinder. Good agreement with results from mature moment method codes is observed.
