Abstract:

The electromagnetic interaction between a target and a conducting plane is investigated utilizing the electromagnetic images method. The complex scattering field is presented. The scattering cross section in which the electromagnetic interaction is included is also presented and its simulation is in agreement with that of experiment. Results show that in a definite distance the electromagnetic interaction is least in the medium wave band. In millimeter wave band, the error induced by the electromagnetic interaction between a large scale target and the conducting plane arrive to 20∼30%. Comparing with frequency, the target size affects the complex scattering distinctively, which presents a theoretical reference for electric system design and electromagnetic compatibility.
