The problem of radiation from sources in the presence of smooth, convex, impenetrable objects is considered, and a brief survey of various high frequency techniques is presented. A generalization of the geometrical theory of diffraction, and two new techniques based on the spectral domain approach and an asymptotic evaluation of the radiation integral for the surface current, also are discussed. Some numerical results derived from the spectral domain formulas are presented and a comparison with available theoretical and experimental data is included.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
