Numerical method for calculating surface current density on a two-dimensional scatterer with smooth contour

A numerical method is presented for finding the surface current density on a two-dimensional smooth scatterer. This method is an improved version of a method which one of the authors presented as an adjoint method to the conventional mode-matching method (MMM) for finding the scattered field. After formulating the problem, we interpret the method being adjoint to the conventional mode-matching method and show that the method yields a sequence of approximate current densities converging to the true density in the mean squares sense. Next we propose the improved method and prove the fact that this method yields a sequence of approximate solutions which converges to the true density uniformly on the contour of the scatterer. We then state that the method is an adjoint one to the mode-matching method with a smoothing procedure (SP) which we proposed as a powerful numerical method for the scattered field. Numerical results of some sample calculation are attached to show the effectiveness of the new method.
