Abstract
The pattern equation method is generalized to problems of scattering of electromagnetic waves by 3D perfectly conducting bodies covered with a dielectric. The method is implemented in an algorithm for bodies of a rather arbitrary shape. In the case of a sphere, explicit analytic expressions for the coefficients involved in the scattering pattern are obtained from the general system of equations for these coefficients. The expressions obtained coincide with the corresponding formulas in the theory of Mie series. Scattering patterns are calculated for various bodies of revolution. The calculation results for bodies with a coating are compared to similar characteristics obtained via simulation of a dielectric coating with the suitable impedance.
