Abstract
A novel time-domain physical optics (TDPO) is proposed to determine the transient response of electromagnetic scattering of electrically large homogeneous dielectric targets modeled with triangular facets. Formula of the novel TDPO is derived, in which a time-domain convolution product between the incident plane wave and the time-domain physical-optics (PO) integral is included. The time-domain PO integral is evaluated with a closed-form expression based on a Radon transform interpretation, which makes the novel TDPO highly efficient in speed. The wideband rador cross section (RCS) is conveniently obtained from the transient response with a fast Fourier transform (FFT). Numerical results demonstrate the efficacy of the new method.
