Plane-wave scattering by strip-loaded circular dielectric cylinders in the case of oblique incidence and arbitrary polarization

Abstract

Plane-wave scattering by strip-loaded circular, multilayered dielectric cylinders is investigated in the most general case of oblique incidence and arbitrary polarization. The problem is formulated via systems of singular integral-integrodifferential equations of the first kind which are most efficiently discretized on the basis of previously developed analytical algorithms. Several internal tests along with extended comparisons with available results have been completed to validate the numerical codes. Plotted results for both the induced surface current densities and the total radar cross section reveal how the scattering properties may be controlled by changing several physical and geometrical parameters of the structure.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
