Simulation of ultrashort pulse scattering by a conductive cylinder

Results of electrodynamical simulations of the ultrashort pulse scattering on a conductive cylindrical target are presented. The late-time response was used to evaluate the target resonant frequencies within the generalized matrix pencil method. The size of the cylinder was estimated based on data obtained from simulations. Simulations have been carried out for pulses with various durations, an accuracy of the parameters quantification of the target was also estimated.
