Abstract [en]
Additive manufacturing techniques have generated interest in fully metallic conformal polarizers for space applications. While proof-of-concept designs can be produced with general-purpose design tools, specialized numerical methods are needed to accurately model these structures. We suggest using an ad-hoc Method of Moments that integrates analytical Green's functions for magnetic sources, which excite a radial transmission line in the presence of a metallic sphere.
