MOM on plates

The code here presented evaluates the fields scattered by a perfectly conductor rectangular plate using the classic Method of Moments.
The MOM formulation uses the RWG functions as basis and test functions. It applies the Galerkin formulation.
 
The followings are the key features:

  • the scattering rectangular plate is parallel to the z=0 plane
  • the mesh is created imposing edge_lenght=min_wave_lenght/15
  • the basis and test functions used in the code are the RWG functions
  • it uses the Galekin formulation
  • a ground plane under the plate can be applied; in this case the code uses the image theorem to don't increase the computational complexity
  • 2D and 3D plots of the far field theta and phi components
  • the metal plate is illuminated by a plane wave with the following user selected incident angles plane wave incident angles

    An example of the input file for the remote execution of the module mie is here.
     
    It is available here an example program (Matlab), that creates an input file, launches the Remote Execution, retrieves the output file and plots the results.
    Note that this example is limited to a maximum plate area Amax=lambda^2
