Analysis of electromagnetic scattering from an overfilled cavity in the ground plane (Q2495746)

This article aims to develop a mathematical method in order to investigate the electromagnetic scattering by overfilled protruding cavities embedded in the perfect electrically conducting infinite ground plane in the frequency domain. An artificial boundary condition is imposed on a semicircle enclosing the cavity, which couples the fields from the infinite exterior domain to those inside. Variational formulations for the TM and TE polarizations are derived, existence and uniqueness of weak solutions are established, and the finite element error analysis is performed as well. Their results indicate that the scattering problem in both TM and TE polarizations attains a unique weak solution for a general cavity medium. In addition, they numerically tried to demonstrate the efficiency of the method.
