Scattering from perfectly conducting and resistive strips on a grounded dielectric slab

The scattering properties of perfectly conducting and resistive strips are predicted for strips which are located on a dielectric slab backed by a perfectly conducting ground plane. The spectral domain Green's function is used to relate the currents and fields on the strip, and the resulting integral equation is solved using the method of moments. Both TE and TM strips are examined using piecewise linear and pulse subdomain basis functions, respectively, to model the current on the strip. Calculated results are compared with results measured at the NASA Langley Research Center.
