Abstract

In this paper, an efficient high-frequency method combining physical optics and shooting and bouncing rays is proposed to calculate the electromagnetic near-field scattering from the electrically large target (such as ship) in the near zone. In order to solve the mono-static and bi-static scattering problems, the local expansion technique based on the facets of target is presented to account for the near-field scattering, which has a singularity-free characteristic. And then the near-field contour-integral representation is introduced by refining the formulations in traditional far-field calculation to reduce the computational complexity. Therefore, this method is more straightforward to deal with the near-field scattering problem. Finally, some analyses on the near-field scattering characteristics and Doppler spectra of a surveillance ship in near zone are investigated by using the proposed method.
