Wave diffraction by a rectangular cylinder
Abstract
A rigorous method is proposed for solving problems of wave diffraction by an ideally conducting rectangular cylinder, considered as a composite body formed by the 'gluing' of plane ribbons. The approach is based on partial operator inversion and the method of moments. The problem involves the solution of infinite systems of linear algebraic equations, to which the reduction method is applicable. A numerical analysis is used to investigate the current distribution on the faces of the cylinder, the total scattering cross section, and the directivity pattern of the scattered field.
