The Method of Auxiliary Sources in Electromagnetic Scattering Problems

Publisher Summary A conventional Method of Auxiliary Sources (MAS) is a method of finding the solution of the boundary problem for a given differential equation by expanding it in terms of fundamental, or other singular solutions of this equation. This chapter describes the conventional method of auxiliary sources (MAS) in application to 2D and 3D scattering problems upon bodies of complicated shape and filling. It offers general recommendations for the proper implementation of the MAS with predesigned accuracy. Finally, the application of the MAS to particular problems is illustrated, including the problems of anisotropy, chirality, and those of multiply-connected boundaries. Far and near fields for different situations are analyzed through numerical simulations in a wide frequency band starting from the quasi-static up to the quasi-optics. The efficiency of the MAS to study complex scattering problems, as well as to visualize various physical phenomena in electromagnetic and light wave band is also demonstrated.
