Iterative Solution Of Scattering By Surface-Treated Targets

An efficient iterative technique has been developed to compute the scattering behavior of the radar cross section of a conducting circular cylinder coated by a dielectric loaded with periodic metallic strips. This method is based on the concept of waves. It consists of establishing a relationship between electromagnetic fields and the incident-reflected waves. The numerical results for a number of scattering geometries are given to illustrate the efficiency and versatility of the present approach. (C) 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
