Abstract

Time domain integral equation (TDIE)-based methods for analyzing transient scattering from objects characterized by an impedance boundary condition (IBC) have been studied less extensively than their frequency domain counterparts. Here, a new TDIE-based scheme for analyzing scattering from arbitrarily shaped three-dimensional objects characterized by an IBC is presented. Specifically, a set of two coupled integral equations that involves no analytical approximations and that is devoid of spurious solutions is constructed. These TDIE are solved using a marching-on-in-time (MOT) technique wherein interactions arising from the IBC are accounted for through a recursive convolution algorithm. The proposed scheme is verified by two numerical examples.
