In this article, the electromagnetic scattering from dielectric and composite bodies of revolution are analyzed by the electric‐magnetic field integral equation (EMFIE) and the magnetic‐electric field integral equation (MEFIE), which are customarily overlooked in the literature. A standard method‐of‐moments (MoM) technique is applied for the numerical solution of the surface integral equations. Several dielectric and composite geometries are analyzed through the bandwidth and results are compared with those of well‐established Müller and PMCHWT (a solution proposed by Poggio, Miller, Chang, Harrington, Wu, and Tsai) integral equation formulations. Investigated case studies indicate that the MoM Z ‐matrices yielded by the EMFIE and MEFIE are as well‐conditioned as those provided by the Müller and PMCWHT formulations. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
