SHORT-PULSE PLANE-WAVE SCATTERING FROM BURIED PERFECTLY CONDUCTING BODIES OF REVOLUTION

The method of moments is used to analyze short-pulse plane-wave scatte ring from perfectly conducting bodies of revolution buried in a lossy, dispersive half space. The analysis is performed in the frequency dom ain, with the time-domain fields synthesized via Fourier transform. To make this analysis efficient, the method of complex images is used to compute the frequency-dependent components of the half-space dyadic G reen's function. Results are presented for short-pulse scattering from buried spheres and cylinders, using measured frequency-dependent soil parameters (permittivity and conductivity).
