Abstract :
We develop a set of scalar integral equations that govern the electromagnetic scattering from a two-dimensional (2-D) trough in an infinite perfectly conducting ground plane. We obtain accurate and efficient numerical solution to these equations via the method of moments (MoM). Our numerical implementation compares favorably to popular methods such as the finite element/boundary integral (FE/BI) method, generalized network formulation (GNF), and electric field integral equation (EFIE) techniques
