Analysis of EM scattering by conducting bodies of revolution in layered media using the discrete complex image method

A mixed-potential integral equation (MPIE) is formulated for conducting bodies of revolution (BORs) embedded in plane stratified-media. The axis of BOR is assumed to be perpendicular to the material layers. The spectral integrals that arise in the MPIE kernels are efficiently evaluated by the discrete complex image method (DCIM). Sample numerical results are presented for a pillbox scatterer in a half-space environment.
