A shooting and bouncing ray method for dielectric media

A shooting and bouncing ray (SBR) method for dielectric media is presented in this paper. The tracing rays are used to approximate the electromagnetic wave in this method. The transmission/reflection coefficients of the dielectric media are induced to calculate the attenuation during the propagation. The proposed algorithm is able to calculate the radar cross section (RCS) of dielectric media. Several numerical examples demonstrate the ability of the proposed method.
