Abstract
This paper presents the multiple sweep method of moments (MSMM) analysis of electromagnetic (EM) scattering from three dimensional (3D) targets on ocean‐like rough surfaces. The MSMM is a recursive method for solving the large matrix equations which arise in the method of moments (MoM) analysis of electrically large bodies. In the MSMM, the body is split into P sections and the currents on these sections are found in a sequential downrange‐uprange fashion. The first sweep includes the dominant scattering mechanisms and each subsequent sweep includes higher order mechanisms. The results obtained from this study demonstrate that the MSMM is a very reliable and efficient tool for the analysis of this class of problems. The numerical results yield insight into electromagnetic scattering mechanisms associated with a 3D target on a rough surface, and provide accurate and robust reference solutions for more approximate techniques which can handle larger geometries more efficiently. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
