✦ Synopsis
This paper is concerned with the application of the Overhauser C (1) continuous boundary element method to the calculation of electromagnetic scattering. The method preserves C (1) continuity of the smooth parts of the surface of a scatterer and of the unknown functions which are de®ned on it. Results for a perfectly conducting sphere have been compared with those obtained from Mie theory and the C (0) formulation. They show that the C (1) version requires fewer surface nodes and signi®cantly less computer time for higher frequencies to provide results of equivalent accuracy. Some results from an Ogive have also been calculated and compared using the C (0) and C (1) formulations.
