Abstract :
Two-way parabolic equation (PE) techniques are used to compute the radar cross-section of two-dimensional objects. A finite-difference implementation of a wide angle PE in combination with non-local boundary conditions allows fast execution times on a desktop computer. The technique is applied to scattering by a cylinder and by an idealised aircraft shape. Numerical results are in good agreement with calculations using other methods
