Abstract

An efficient method is proposed for solving the problem of electromagnetic wave diffraction by dielectric bodies of complex shapes. Scattering patterns are decomposed in vector spherical harmonics to reduce the problem to a system of algebraic equations. It is shown that the method exhibits a high convergence rate that depends on the complexity of a scatterer’s boundaries only slightly. Examples of simulation of the characteristics of wave scattering by various complex bodies are considered. The correctness of the obtained data is verified through checking the fulfillment of the optical theorem.
