Abstract :
For pt.I see ibid., vol.38, no.3, p.335-44 (1990). In pt.I, three mixed-potential electric field integral equations (MPIEs) for conducting surfaces of arbitrary shape residing in plane-stratified dielectric media with an arbitrary number of layers were formulated. One of the MPIEs (formulation C) was found to be particularly well suited for the application of the method of moments (MM). In pt.II, formulation C is specialized to the important case of a scatterer or antenna of arbitrary shape residing in contiguous half-spaces. This MPIE is solved by the MM employing a triangle-patch model of the surface of the object. Sample numerical results for several cases of interest are presented
