Electromagnetic codes available (16.05.1994)
This note intends to answer frequently asked questions con-
cerning electromagnetic codes. It mainly lists codes for
computation of electromagnetic scattering by dielectric
spheres, spheroids, bodies of revolution and irregular scat-
terers.
If you know of any code not listed, please send an e-mail to
This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. I will then include it in this list.
