  • Abstract
    A technique is presented for the RCS computation of electrically large conducting bodies, modelled by NURBS patches, using physical optics (PO) and asymptotic expansion of integral methods. The NURBS surfaces are transformed in Bezier patches to apply PO. Excellent accuracy is obtained.
