Abstract

The authors treat the “entire-tangent” representation of a time-domain electric-field integral equation (TDEFIE) for solving transient scattering problems involving perfectly conducting (PEC) bodies of revolution (BOR). This entire-tangent TDEFIE reduces three-dimensional scattering problems with axial symmetry to two-dimensional problems, thus facilitating the numerical treatment and significantly reducing CPU requirements. Additional refinements and algorithm efficiencies are described. Some numerical results and applications are presented
