Abstract
We propose a method for numerical solution of electromagnetic scattering by curved screens of finite thickness, based on solving the integral equation of electric field. The numerical results presented concern the scattering by a spherical screen and a screen, which is not a surface of revolution. Characteristics of scattering by a spherical screen are compared with experimental data.
KEY WORDS: electromagnetic wave scattering, integral equation, perfectly conducting curved screen of finite thickness, radar cross section
