Generalized network parameters, radiation and scattering by conducting bodies of revolution

Introduces computer programs (FORTRAN IV) designed for field calculation from conducting bodies of revolution. A set of four programs which calculate the generalised impedance matrix and admittance matrix for triangular expansion functions, bistatic radar scattering for an axially incident plane wave, radiation from rotationally symmetric aperture antennas, and radar backscattering for an obliquely incident plane wave, are presented. Results for a number of examples are summarised and discussed. The accuracy of computation depends on the smoothness of the body and of the excitation
