Wide-Band Electromagnetic Scattering from a Dielectric BOR Buried in a Layered Lossy Dispersive Medium

چکیده
A method of moments (MoM) analysis is developed for electromagnetic scattering from a dielectric body of revolution (BOR) embedded in a layered medium (the half-space problem constituting a special case). The layered-medium parameters can be lossy and dispersive, of interest for simulating soil. To make such an analysis tractable for the wide-band (short-pulse) applications of interest here, we have employed the method of complex images to evaluate the Sommerfeld integrals characteristic of the dyadic layered-medium Green’s function. Example wideband scattering results are presented, wherein fundamental wave phenomenology is elucidated. Of particular interest, we consider wide-band scattering from a model plastic mine, buried in soil, with the soil covered by a layer of snow.

A rigorous method-of-moments (MoM) analysis is used to model wide-band scattering from general three-dimensional perfectly conducting objects buried in a lossy layered medium. Here, we focus on ordnance buried in a half space (soil). The time-domain fields scattered from a tilted antitank mine are examined in detail as a function of polarization and observation position.
