NUMERICAL-METHOD FOR CALCULATING SURFACE CURRENT-DENSITY ON 3-DIMENSIONAL SMOOTH SCATTERERS

This paper shows that the surface current density can be calculated by using approximate total tangent magnetic vector fields which are expressed by finite number of linear combination of tangent vectors of spherical wave functions. Sampling points are determined by considering the property of associated Legendre functions and trigonometrical functions. By setting a number of sampling points to twice the largest mode number, a computer-aided algorithm is obtained. The accuracy of the solutions is checked and the polarization dependence of the surface current densities is clarified.
