Abstract

This paper presents a formal solution to the electromagnetic scattering of a buried sphere. It has been validated against the Mie scattering solution and the NMM solution. The direct application of the method will be the validation of the numerical methods for the scattering of 3D buried objects, which, though important, has not been available. It may also serve as the basis for some approximate algorithm for this problem. Finally, combined with other numerical methods, such as T-matrix method plus the fast evaluation technique of the Sommerfeld integral, it may present a new method for electromagnetic scattering by a 3D buried object.
