“…Its implicit formulation was developed for the same purpose and its results were found to agree with data produced by FDTD [16]. It is also shown that the characteristic-based method can predict the reflection of electromagnetic fields from moving/vibrating perfect conductor in one dimension [17,18], the effects of finite conductivity on the reflection/transmission of electromagnetic fields [19], and the reflection/transmission of electromagnetic field propagation onto moving dielectric half space [20]. Unlike MoM and FDTD where all field components are placed at the grid nodes, the characteristic-based method defines all field quantities in the center of the grid cell.…”

Abstract-This paper demonstrates the one-dimensional computational results of the propagation of Gaussian electromagnetic pulse through dielectric slabs of finite thickness with variation in permittivity. The numerical approach used is the characteristic-based method solving the time-domain Maxwell curl equations involved with nonuniform permittivity. In the numerical model, all dielectric slabs are assumed to be isotropic, lossless, and linear. The permittivity of dielectric slab may increase or decrease linearly or sinusoidally. The numerical permittivity is finely discretized such that the variation between two adjacent grids is so small that the non-uniform permittivity is assumed to be piecewise continuous and consequently can be modeled as an individual block. The numerical results of various electric fields, both in the time-and frequency-domain, are presented and compared based on the dielectric slab of constant permittivity for close investigating the effects of the non-uniform permittivity distribution on the electromagnetic fields. It is also shown that under certain arrangement of Gaussian electromagnetic pulse and dielectric slab thickness the pattern of field propagation, reflection and transmission, can be reproduced in different time scales and frequency ranges.

“…There have been many studies investigating this issue. Some studies focus on the derivation of the theoretical solutions for the EM scattering by perfect conductors in uniform translational motion [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], some on the EM scattering by linearly vibrating objects [12][13][14], some on the simulation of the scattered EM fields from perfect planes moving and vibrating [15][16][17], and one on a moving dielectric half-space [18]. Among them, Harfoush et al provided computational results, in addition to the theoretical analysis, by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique, in which both Faraday's and Ampere's laws were employed as aides to respectively approximate the magnetic and electric fields immediately next to the moving surface whenever the surface travels away from the grid point [3].…”

“…The numerical simulations of the reflected EM fields from uniformly travelling and oscillating perfect plane were carried out using MOC in collaboration with the relativistic EM field boundary conditions, and the computational results revealed that the reflected fields disclose not only the modulations in phase and amplitude but also the Doppler shift in spectrum. It is also explained that, due to the movement of the boundary, some moments grid cells were gradually eliminated from the grid system, and for other certain moments, grid cells were introduced little by little into the grid system [15][16][17][18].…”

Abstract-In this paper, a new numerical technique, passing center swing back grids (PCSBG's) for the resolution of the grid distortion difficulty due to the rotational motion of objects is introduced. This proposed swing-back-grids approach alongside of the method of characteristics (MOC) is developed to solve EM scattering problems featured with rotating objects. The feasibility of such combination is apparent from the fact that MOC defines all field quantities in the centroid of the grid cell. The scattered EM fields from a rotating circular cylinder under the excitation of an EM pulse are predicted in two dimensions and the electric field distributions recorded at several time instances are demonstrated. In order to confirm that the cylinder is rotating and scattering EM fields simultaneously, the circular cylinder is uniformly divided into an even number of slices with one perfect reflector and one non-reflector alternatively since a rotating circular cylinder causes no relativistic effects.

“…The study of electromagnetic/optical wave scattering from rough layered structures has been the subject of intensive investigation for its application in a number of important research areas [1][2][3][4][5][6], such as the remote sensing, either by radar or optical imagery, ocean engineering, the design of optical scanning instrument for use in the semiconductor industry as well as the surface optics. The remote sensing can be used for detection and monitoring of possible oil spill on ocean surfaces.…”

Abstract-Method of Moments (MOM) combining with the Kirchhoff Approximation(KA) for analysis of the problem of optical wave scattering by a stack of two one-dimensional Gaussian rough interfaces is solved. The scattered field from the upper interface is solved by MOM and the transmitted field from the lower one is expressed from the Kirchhoff approximation where the multiple scattering phenomenon is neglected. The advantage of this hybrid method is that it is more exact than Kirchhoff approximation. The two rough interfaces separate three lossless and homogeneous media. The bistatic scattered field and the scattering coefficient are derived in this paper for vertical and horizontal polarizations. The influence of the relative permittivity, the height rms and the correlative length, the average heights between the two interfaces on the bistatic scattering coefficient is discussed in detail. The application of this work is the study of electromagnetic modeling of oil slicks on ocean surfaces.
