Bistatic RCS of Electrically-Large Objects Calculations with High-Order Parabolic Equation Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

A high-order parabolic equation (PE) method is applied to calculate the Bistatic RCS of two-dimensional (2-D) Electrically-large Objects. According to the shapes of objexts, Crank-Nicolson and Pade (1,0) schemes are introduced to solve the high-order PE. The numerical results demonstrate that the method not only extends the accurate angle range but also decreases the rotation times and computational time in comparison with the traditional low-order parabolic equation method.
