Abstract

Light scattering properties from curved surface and cylinder are important in the area of propagation and remote sensing. The radar cross sections (RCS) of a dielectric thin curved surface and cylinder are obtained by employing a quasi-static approximation. The method is applicable to the electromagnetic (EM) scattering in general. However, the simulated results emphasize light scattering, i.e. the RCS displayed rather than the electric field. The results are complemented by numerical calculations.
