The author applies the Neumann series method to the combined integral equation. An important goal of this work is to find an iterative method which is useful for wavelengths much smaller than the scatterer. One application of the result is to determine corrections to physical optics. Particularly interesting examples are those to which physical optics is a poor approximation, even in the high-frequency limit. An example of such a problem is shown.<>

The authors present an approach to the numerical modeling of three-dimensional scattering in conductive media. The particular class of problems of interest is that for which the conduction current is large enough that the displacement current may be neglected. The scattering objects of interest are those which are on the order of a skin depth in size. The approach is based on the unimoment method extended to scattering from arbitrary three-dimensional objects and conductive media. A flow diagram of the computational tasks which must be performed in order to generate a solution is presented.<>

The authors have developed a spatial decomposition (SD) approach for the method of moments (MM) that shows substantial promise in reducing both the dimensionality and ill-conditioning of the computational burden. In fact, SD permits the maximum size of the MM system matrix that needs to be inverted to be strictly limited, regardless of the electrical size of the target being modeled. SD provides the means of implementing the combined-field surface-patching MM technique with a computer memory and execution time requirement of order M, where M is the number of spatial subzones. SD has been successfully applied to electrically large two-dimensional dielectric targets and three-dimensional conducting bodies of revolution.<>

Using an approximate synthesis procedure, a practical undersized backfire antenna (BFA) with a nonuniform corrugated rod structure was developed. Many backfire antenna designs with synthesized corrugated surface-wave rods were manufactured and tested. A comparison between the parameters of two long backfire antennas having the same basic dimensions but differing in the surface-wave (SW) structures (uniform and modulated) is presented. It is found that a BFA with a synthesized nonuniform SW structure has an optimum directivity. An undersized backfire antenna with a nonuniform corrugated rod designed for an optimum frequency of 2.0 GHz is described.<>

The authors develop a new model for implementing adaptive nulling of interfering signals which is based solely on a single-feed horn antenna. The model uses a multimode feed antenna in which various modes are generated or extracted by means of slot coupling. Adaptive nulling is then carried out by treating each mode as an element of a phased-array antenna. The algorithm that is used to implement the adaptive nulling relies quite heavily on the QR decomposition method, a recursive least-squares algorithm which is amenable to systolic array processing. With proper choice of modes and design parameters for the feed horn antenna, simulation studies show that wide beamwidths (bandwidth), low sidelobe levels, and high signal-to-noise and interference ratio can be achieved with the proposed adaptive beamforming technique.<>

A design for a dual-reflector compact range system with axial-symmetric main reflector is proposed. The advantage of this design is that it provides a larger quiet zone area and reduces the manufacturing cost. The configuration consists of a large surface of revolution as primary mirror, and a conventional point-source spherical-wave feed. The point-source feed is located outside the column of parallel rays reflected from the primary mirror in the Z-axis. Using geometrical ray tracing, a subreflector contour can be generated. Since the proposed approach is based on the surface of revolution, either a paraboloid or a spherical surface can be chosen as the main reflector.<>

The reflection and transmission profiles that result from such an arrangement are discussed and compared with the parallel arrangement. The special case of the unbonded mesh is compared with published data. Moreover, the effects of inserting dielectric slabs between the gratings in this type of cascaded structure are presented.<>
