Scattering of electromagnetic waves from surfaces with conformal mapping: An example of a triangular plate.
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We discuss a way to exploit conformal mapping to study the response of a finite metallic film of arbitrary shape to an external electromagnetic field at finite frequencies. This provides a simple way to understand different physics issues and provides insights that include the issue of vorticity and eddy current and the nature of the divergent electric field at the boundaries and at corners. We study an example of an equilateral triangular plate and find good agreement with results obtained with traditional numerical techniques.
