Abstract/Description

For certain wavelength size objects, the frequency range between 100 MHz and 1000 MHz spans a transition region when using low frequency electromagnetic scattering codes based on Method of Moments (MoM) to high frequency codes based on Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD) and ray tracing techniques. As the wavelength size of the object increased, MoM codes can require prohibitively long computational times and hence the more approximate high frequency codes become more attractive. The Ohio...
Show moreFor certain wavelength size objects, the frequency range between 100 MHz and 1000 MHz spans a transition region when using low frequency electromagnetic scattering codes based on Method of Moments (MoM) to high frequency codes based on Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD) and ray tracing techniques. As the wavelength size of the object increased, MoM codes can require prohibitively long computational times and hence the more approximate high frequency codes become more attractive. The Ohio State Material Wire code (MATWRS) was selected as a representative MoM code for characterizing the transition region. XPATCH was selected as a representative high frequency code with ACAD used as the general modeling program. To evaluate these codes, a comparison of Radar Cross Section (RCS) predictions for simple PEC canonical shapes was made. Comparisons were made to both measured data where available and predictions generated by the McDonnell Douglas Body of Revolution (BOR) code.
