Abstract :
This paper presents a useful educational tool, EZ-Scattering, which help to illustrate phenomenon of the electromagnetic scattering from arbitrary two- dimensional structures. EZ-Scattering calculates the radar cross section and induced surface currents for different two-dimensional shapes that user draws using generic drawing software. The approach presented here is intended to develop a self-paced conceptual learning in an interactive environment.
