Integral equation method in problems of electromagnetic-wave reflection from inhomogeneous interfaces between media

Аннотация

Problems on reflection of a plane electromagnetic wave from various irregular interfaces between media are studied by the integral equation method in the cases of two- and three-dimensional incident electromagnetic field. The reflecting surfaces are meant as periodic transparent interfaces between two media and plane boundaries with locally inhomogeneous and transparent sections. The boundary value problems for the system of Maxwell’s equations in an infinite domain with an irregular boundary are reduced to Fredholm or singular integral equations, depending on the problem considered. Numerical algorithms for solving such integral equations are developed. Results of calculation of currents induced on inhomogeneities and characteristics of the electric field in the far zone are presented.Problems on reflection of a plane electromagnetic wave from various irregular interfaces between media are studied by the integral equation method in the cases of two- and three-dimensional incident electromagnetic field.
