Electromagnetic plane wave scattering from a cylindrical object with an arbitrary cross section using a hybrid technique

ABSTRACT A hybrid technique combining finite-element and mode-matching methods for the analysis of scattering problems in open and closed areas is presented. The main idea of the analysis is based on the utilization of the finite-element method to calculate the post impedance matrix and combine it with external excitation. The discrete analysis, which is the most time- and memory-consuming, is limited here only to the close proximity of the scatterer. Moreover, once the impedance matrix is calculated, any rotation or shifting of the post can be performed without the need for structure recalculation. All the obtained results have been verified by comparison with simulations performed using the hybrid finite-difference-mode-matching method and commercial software.
