Abstract

Scattering characteristics of perfectly conducting rectangular flat plate are analyzed for frequency region near resonance. The finite-difference time-domain method is used in simple and efficient form. Scattering diagram and radar cross-section are examined. The method is tested by integral equation method first and foremost.
