COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE CYLINDERS REFLECTIVE PROPERTIES WITH FULL AND PARTIAL METALLIZATION OF THE SIDE SURFACES
A comparative analysis of the reflective properties of finite - length cylinders with a regular cross-section made of an ideally conductive material and a dielectric material with partial metallization of the side surface was carried out based on the results of computer modeling using built-in calculators from a specialized complex such as CST MWS - Computer Simulation Technology Microwave Studio. The sectors of angles in which the studied objects have comparable effective scattering areas and similar backscattering diagrams in shape are determined. The computational costs for determining the characteristics of secondary field radiation by cylindrical surfaces with full and partial metallization are estimated on the basis of data from computational experiments on a personal computer with an Intel Core i7-10700K processor and a 32 GB DDR4 memory module. It is shown that when using the same computing power, the time required for modeling composite structures is 2...6 times higher than the indicators achievable when calculating the electromagnetic field of homogeneous ideally conducting objects.
