| Abstract: | The combined field integral equation (CFIE) formulation for electromagnetic scattering from perfectly conducting bodies is generalized to treat conductors with layered dielectric coatings. The generalized formulation is proved to provide unique solutions at all frequencies. The method of moments is used to solve the resulting system of integral equations. Solutions in terms of two integral operators are developed for body of revolution configurations. The behavior and properties of the generalized combined field formulation are illustrated with results of calculations for coated spheres, cylinders, and cones. |
