Abstract

Electromagnetic (EM) scattering from curved surface and cylinder is important in the area of propagation and remote sensing in order to determine EM properties of scatterers. The radar cross sections (RCS) of a dielectric thin curved surface and cylinder are obtained by employing a quasi-static approximation. The results are complemented by numerical calculations and their validity is presented by comparison with available exact results in literature. Excellent agreement is found for horizontal and vertical polarization.
