Electromagnetic Scattering by Loaded Wire Loops

Abstract

The problem of electromagnetic scattering by circular wire loops loaded with lumped impedances along the wire is considered. A solution to the appropriate integral equation is obtained by a Fourier series method. The theory is valid for loops in arbitrary impressed fields, and for both monostatic and bistatic scattering. Previously obtained solutions for the loop antenna, the loaded loop antenna, and the unloaded loop scatterer are contained in the solution as special cases.
