ELECTROMAGNETIC SCATTERING FROM A CHIRAL-COATED NIHILITY CYLINDER

Abstract

Scattering of electromagnetic plane waves from an inflnitely long nihility cylinder, coated with a chiral layer of uniform thickness, is presented. Cylindrical vector wave functions have been used to express the flelds in difierent regions. The solution is determined by solving the wave equation for difierent regions and applying the appropriate boundary conditions at the discontinuities. Both TM and TE polarizations as incident plane wave have been considered in the analysis. Obtained Numerical results for the chiral-coated nihility cylinder are compared with a chiral-coated PEC cylinder.
