Electromagnetic scattering for oblique incidence on impedance bodies of revolution

Combined field integral equations for the surface currents induced by an obliquely incident wave on a rotationally symmetric body are considered. The relative surface impedance is independent of the azimuthal angle but may vary along the profile of the scatterer in any plane containing the axis of symmetry; the currents are conveniently expressed in terms of Fourier series of uncoupled terms in the azimuthal angle. Simple integral expressions for the far field are given and a computer code is described and tested on a variety of scatterers. Geometry of scatterer, surface impedance and Fourier harmonics of induced currents are described by splines. The results are in agreement with physical interpretation
