The RCS of wires, plates, plate/wire, plate/aperture, and plate/strip combinations were examined for plane wave incidence. In all cases, a NEC-2 (Numerical Electromagnetic Code, which is a Moment Method code) model was possible. Physical Optics (PO) also was used for RCS computation of the wire, plate/wire, and plate/aperture. For 2D TM scattering by a strip, Pulse Basis Point Matching (PBPM) and Asymptotic Phasefront Extraction (APE) were used to calculate the RCS and surface current density. Excellent RCS results were found by using only two pulse bases on a 20n strip when APE was applied.
