Two-Dimensional Forward Scattering – Comparisons of Approximate and Exact Solutions

Various methods for analyses of scattering are mentioned and new approximate relationships are derived. Experimental results for thin wire and several numerical simulations of forward scattering using approximate esti- mations, physical optics and exact solutions for two-di- mensional scattering are presented both for far and near fields. That allows not only accuracy analyses but also conclusions about scattering and total fields in the pres- ence of objects, which are important for many applications such as communications, bistatic and multistatic radars and electromagnetic compatibility.
