Abstract :
A general formulation is presented for bodies of revolution (BORs) in the vicinity of arbitrarily shaped three-dimensional surfaces. The formulation is capable of treating both perfectly conducting surfaces and dielectrics that are defined by a BOR. The formulation presented here allows a conducting BOR to be either open or closed. The arbitrary surfaces are perfectly conducting. A very general class of problems is solved by combining the solutions for BORs and arbitrary surfaces in a single formulation. The accuracy of the formulation has been confirmed by a series of self-consistency tests and comparisons with measured data.<>
