Abstract :
A numerical study to determine accuracy and modeling criteria for the integral-equation analysis of thin-wire scatterers is described. Results obtained using a collocation solution method with sinusoidal current interpolation show that 6-18 current samples per wavelength are sufficient to produce radar cross section results with absolute numerical convergence accuracies on the order of 10 percent or less (

dB) depending upon structure complexity.
