Abstract

Numerical scattering characteristics calculation methods are suggested for complex-shaped objects that have with surface breaks and are placed in a free space. The asymptotic method is developed for calculating scattering characteristics in both frequency and time domains of perfectly conducting electrically-large objects partially or fully covered by radio-absorbing materials. Mathematical modeling of scattering characteristics for series of aerial objects is conducted.
