Numerical analysis of electromagnetic wave diffraction on a three-dimensional magnetodielectric body

A variant of the method of discrete sources suitable for solving problems of electromagnetic wave scattering on three-dimensional magnetodielectric bodies having a smooth surface of arbitrary shape is suggested and realized. A computer program implementing the suggested variant is briefly described. Some results of numerical calculations that illustrate the opportunities of the method are presented. Special attention is given to a study of the influence of deviations of the body shape from axisymmetric one on the bistatic scattering cross sections. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 10, pp. 50–57, October, 2005.
