Abstract

In this paper, Runge-kutta exponential time differencing (RKETD) method for dispersive media is introduced. The high accuracy and efficiency of this method is verified by calculating the reflection and transmission coefficients for a non-magnetized collisional plasma slab. The stealth effect of radar targets covered with Epstein distribution inhomogeneous non-magnetized plasma is studied. The results show that the stealth effect of radar targets covered with Epstein distribution inhomogeneous plasma is better than that of radar targets covered with homogeneous non-magnetized plasma.
