Abstract
For a cylindrical reflector, illuminated by a line source, the induced surface current is assumed as the sum of the physical optics and an unknown difference current. This difference current is then found by an application of the moment method. It is shown that such an assumption increases the accuracy of the computations and reduces the required computer time.
