Waveport Scattering Library(NPO-51963-1)

The Waveport Scattering Library is a collection of equations, derivations, and Matlab codes on selected topics in electromagnetic scattering. While this field is rich with problems that have been solved ana- lytically and numerically, coding these solutions from papers and textbooks can be quite difficult. As a result, many useful methods and tools are out of reach to all but the most practiced investigators. This work started with a personal collection of notes and codes with the idea of creating a consistent library with which analysis and new routines could be completed and checked more quickly.The topics of the library follow closely the textbooks of Chew, Tsang, Kong, and Ulaby: - Green's functions- Spherical wave functions- Spherical wave function rotation and translation- S-matrix and T-matrix scattering- Facet scattering under the Kirchhoff approximation - Fast Multipole Method operators- Generation of rough surfaces and random objects- Geometric (ray-tracing) scattering solutions- Coordinate transforms and special functions.
