TRANSVERSE ELECTRIC WAVE SCATTERING BY 2-DIMENSIONAL SURFACES OF ARBITRARY SHAPE IN THE PRESENCE OF A WEDGE Academic Article

abstract

• Two forms of the socalled mixedpotential electric field integral equation (MPIE) are developed for twodimensional, perfectly conducting (PC) surfaces of arbitrary shape in the presence of an infinite, PC wedge, subject to transverse electric excitation. One of the MPIEs is based on the Coulomb gauge while the other employs the Lorentz gauge. In either case the effect of the wedge is incorporated in the integral equation by means of the appropriate Green's functions, leaving the current distribution on the arbitrary surface as the only unknown. The Green's functions are derived by the eigenfunction expansion technique. A wellestablished moment method procedure is adapted to numerically solve both forms of the MPIE. Computed results are presented for several cases of interest, and the relative merits of the Coulomb and Lorentz gauge MPIEs are discussed. Copyright 1990 by the American Geophysical Union.
