Abstract: The NURBS PO applies the PO method on the NURBS surface to compute the field and radar cross section (RCS).
Shadowing is one of the key problems in the physical optics method. In this paper, an effective algorithm is present to solve
the shadowing problem in the NURBS-PO method. Numerical examples show the validity of this algorithm. This algorithm can also
be applied to the PO method which uses triangle patch modeling to accelerate the computing speed.

Key words: shadowing, NURBS, physical optics, stationary phased method
