Since the problem is considered to be 2D, the integral equations (IEs) are scalar and only the TE (transverse elect 410 0$aFocus series in waves. 606 $aElectromagnetic waves$xScattering$xMathematical models 615 0$aElectromagnetic waves$xScattering$xMathematical models. 676 $a530.141 700 $aBourlier$b Christophe$0859622 701 $aPinel$b Nicola?s$0859621 701 $aKubicke?$b Gildas$0949131 712 02$aInternational Society for Technology in Education. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139017203321 996 $aMethod of moments for 2d scattering problems$92145319 997 $aUNINA
