Application of the method of continued boundary conditions to the solution of the problem of diffraction of waves by scatterers of complex geometry located in a homogeneous and inhomo-geneous medium
Abstract:
Based on the method of continued boundary conditions, a technique is proposed that allows modeling the scattering characteristics for bodies of arbitrary geometry. The two-dimensional problem of the diffraction of a plane wave by dielectric bodies with complex section geometry, in particular, by fractal-like bodies, is considered. Comparison of numerical algorithms for solving the diffraction problem based on systems of integral equations of the 1st and 2nd kind is carried out. The method is generalized to the problem of diffraction by a cylindrical body located in a homogeneous magnetodielectric half-space. The correctness of the method is confirmed by checking the fulfillment of the optical theorem for various bodies and by comparing it with the results of calculations obtained by the modified method of discrete sources.
Keywords:wave diffraction on bodies of complex geometry, the method of continued boundary conditions, diffraction on bodies located in a plane-layered medium.
