Getting scattered field from magnetic current

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

i'm trying to figure to out how to get the scattered field from a magnetic current excitation.
The model is 2D, I have a arbitrary object. Then I assign a point to be magnetic current excitation. The magnetic current generates spherical wave with TM polarization. Is there a way to get the scattered field instead of the full field? or the only option i have is the define this spherical TM wave as the background field?

I believe that the scattered field formulation requires that you define a background field. That said, assuming linearity, you can see the scattered field with the full field formulation by subtracting the spherical wave.
