The FIT-MoM Method for Analysis of Electromagnetic Scattering by Bodies-of-Revolution Embedded in Multilayered Media

In this article, the previously introduced finite-integration technique/method-of-moments (FIT-MoM) hybrid method, which is suited for the analysis of electromagnetic scattering by inhomogeneous bodies of revolution (BoRs), is generalized to problems involving multilayered environment. Due to the fact that BoR-typical azimuthal mode decomposition is used, appropriate modal Green's functions for multilayered media are given. They are responsible for source-field interactions within the region that is external with regard to the FIT part. Formulas for modal decomposition of incident plane wave fields as well as the approximation enabling computing fields produced by sources associated with individual modes in the far-zone are also provided.
