The authors consider the TM field in a rectangular cavity with perfectly conducting walls in a 2D approximation. The cavity is excited by line currents, and it contains a number of cylindrical, perfectly conducting test objects. The analytical and numerical results obtained are adequately described in the Conclusion, which is here quoted in full. ``We have presented a two-dimensional modelling technique based on the method of moments to solve the electromagnetic problem of a large cavity. No a priori assumptions about a possible statistical behaviour of the fields and currents in the cavities are needed. Instead of using the free space Green's function, we have considered the Green's function of the empty cavity, which allows us to avoid the explicit discretisation of the cavity walls and so to reduce the number of unknowns of the problem significantly. This will allow for a reduction of the total computation time, especially if the objects within the cavity are small compared to the cavity dimensions. We have shown how to compute the sometimes very slowly converging series expressions for the Green's function and the resulting excitation and interaction integrals, combining straightforward computation, classical series convergence acceleration techniques and a modified version of the Veysoglu integral transform. At sufficiently low frequencies, the method was succesfully compared to a 3D MoM tool and the method has been shown to work for large 2D structures (over \(375\lambda^2\))''.
