Electromagnetic scattering from dielectrics--a two-dimensional integral equation solution
Abstract
An accurate determination of the electromagnetic scattering cross section of many realistic targets must account for their being multi-dimensional and penetrable by the incident EM wave. An existing volume integral equation formulation of EM fields within continuous source regions is well-suited to address this problem. We simply specify the generalized source region of this formulation to be a dielectric body in which currents are induced by the incident wave, and which then re-radiates the scattered wave. The relation Etot = Einc + Escat yields a matrix equation to be solved for the unknown currents, which in turn directly determine the scattering cross section. Numerical results are presented for a homogenous, two-dimensional, rectangular target for TE and TM polarizations. The role of the source dyadic term in improving the accuracy of the scattering cross section is investigated both theoretically and numerically....
