Moment-method modeling of short-pulse scattering from and the resonances of a wire buried inside a lossy, dispersive half-space

A frequency-domain method-of-moments (MoM) algorithm is used to model short-pulse plane-wave scattering from a wire buried inside a lossy, dispersive half-space with the time-domain scattered fields computed via the Fourier transform. Further, the complex resonant frequencies of such targets are also calculated via the MoM. The phenomenology associated with scattering from a buried wire is investigated in detail, and it is demonstrated that the time-domain scattered fields and the target resonances depend on the buried-wire orientation as well as the electrical properties of the half-space. >
