TM and TE scattering by a dielectric/ferrite cylinder in the presence of a half-plane

An integral equation solution to the problem of transverse magnetic (TM) or transverse electric (TE) scattering by an isotropic dielectric/ferrite material cylinder in the presence of a perfectly conducting half-plane is presented. The technique is termed a method of moments (MM)/Green's function solution since the method of moments is used to determine the electric and magnetic polarization currents representing the material cylinder, while the presence of the half-plane is accounted for by including the half-plane Green's function in the kernel of the integral equations. Numerical results are presented for the echo width, material cylinder interior fields, and the surface impedance of a material slab on the surface of a half-plane.     

Diffraction by a dielectric half-plane

The problem of diffraction of a plane electromagnetic wave by a dielectric half-plane is reconsidered for solution by utilizing a set of recently developed approximate boundary conditions and the Wiener-Hopf technique. It is observed from the present solution of the problem that reflected waves cease to exist if the angle of incidence takes up the valuetan^{-1}(1/n)wherenrepresents the refractive index of the material of the half-plane under consideration. Expression for the diffracted far field is obtained by using a modification of the saddle point method, and numerical values of the diffraction coefficients are presented in the form of a table for a special value of the refractive indexnand for different values of the parameterkh, hrepresenting the (small) thickness of the half-plane andkthe wavenumber.     

TE-wave scattering by a dielectric cylinder of arbitrary cross-section shape

The theory and equations are developed for the scattering pattern of a dielectric cylinder of infinite length and arbitrary cross-section shape. The harmonic incident wave is assumed to have its electric vector perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, and the fields are assumed to have no variations along this axis. Although some investigators have approximated the field within the dielectric body by the incident field, a more accurate solution is obtained here by treating the field as an unknown function which is determined by solving a system of linear equations. Scattering patterns obtained by this method are presented for dielectric shells of circular and semicircular cross section, and for a thin plane dielectric slab of finite width. The results for the circular shell agree accurately with the exact classical solution. The effects of surface-wave excitation and mutual interaction among the various portions of the shell are included automatically in this solution.     

TM scattering from a hollow slotted circular cylinder withthickness

TM scattering from a hollow, slotted, circular cylinder with thickness is investigated. The mode-matching technique (MMT) is used to express the scattered and guided fields in the angular spectral domain in terms of the radial waveguide mode. The boundary conditions are enforced on the conducting surface and the slot to obtain simultaneous equations. The simultaneous equations are solved to represent the fields in an analytic series form. The computed results are in very good agreement with other data. The numerical computations are performed to illustrate scattering behavior in terms of cylindrical geometry, incident angle, and frequency     

Electromagnetic scattering from a dielectric cylinder of finitelength

The dyadic scattering amplitude is determined for a planar electromagnetic wave incident on a dielectric cylinder of finite length and circular cross section under the assumption that the internal fields induced within the finite-length cylinder can be approximated by those within an infinite-length cylinder. These internal fields are then used to calculate the dyadic scattering amplitude in terms of the cylinder's physical dimensions, orientation, and dielectric properties. The theoretical development is complemented by numerical calculations, and its validity assessed by comparison with experiment

Only the transverse magnetic (TM) case is considered, although the transverse electric (TE) case can be treated in the same way. It is shown that this solution is much more general than all previous solutions because it can handle a variety of scattering geometries. Numerical results are presented in graphical form for the echo width pattern of various geometries

Expressions that apply for all observation points are derived for the field produced by a plane wave incident on a thin dielectric half-plane when the electric vector of the incident wave is parallel to the edge. Away from shadow boundaries the total field comprises an edge wave and a surface wave in addition to the transmitted and reflected waves of geometrical optics. The nature of the edge wave differs from that of a perfectly conducting half-plane in that both the amplitude and phase vary with the observation angle, for a given angle of incidence.

Electromagnetic scattering from a dielectric cylinder buried beneath a slightly rough surface

An analytical solution is presented for the electromagnetic scattering from a dielectric circular cylinder embedded in a dielectric half-space with a slightly rough interface. The solution utilizes the spectral (plane-wave) representation of the fields and accounts for all the multiple interactions between the rough interface and the. buried cylinder. First-order coefficients from the small perturbation method are used for computation of the scattered fields from the rough surface. The derivation includes both TM and TE polarizations and can be easily extended for other cylindrical buried objects (e.g., cylindrical shell, metallic cylinder). Several scattering scenarios are examined utilizing the new solution for a dielectric cylinder beneath a flat, sinusoidal, and arbitrary rough surface profile. Results indicate that the scattering pattern of a buried object below a slightly rough surface differs from the flat surface case only when the surface roughness spectrum contains a limited range of spatial frequencies. Furthermore, the illuminated area of the incident wave is seen to be a critical factor in the visibility of a buried object below a rough surface.

On the GTD scattering by a polygonal cylinder

Using Keller's geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD) the field diffracted by a wedge is infinite at the shadow and reflection boundaries. In general, uniform diffraction coefficients must be used to provide continuous fields at these boundaries. In this communication it is shown that by properly adding the singular contributions from a pair of adjacent edges, Keller's diffraction coefficients yield a continuous far-zone field at the reflection boundaries of a polygonal cylinder illuminated by a plane wave. Furthermore the procedure is justified by noting that the uniform diffraction coefficients reduce to the Keller diffraction coefficients for this case.     

Diffraction by an anisotropic dielectric half-plane: a uniformasymptotic PO solution

A uniform solution is proposed to, describe the diffraction by a penetrable anisotropic dielectric halfplane illuminated at normal incidence by an electromagnetic plane wave. Resorting to second-order boundary conditions on a sheet simulating a special type of anisotropic dielectric thin layer, a physical optics (PO) approximation for the induced electric and magnetic surface currents is derived. Then, a uniform asymptotic evaluation of the corresponding radiation integral provides the diffracted field in terms of the standard transition function relevant to the uniform theory of diffraction. The effectiveness of the solution is proved by many numerical tests     

Diffraction of EM waves by a dielectric/ferrite half-plane andrelated configurations

Uniform asymptotic high-frequency ray solutions are developed for the problems of diffraction of electromagnetic plane, cylindrical, and surface waves normally incident on the edge of an isotropic, homogeneous dielectric/ferrite half-plane. The boundary conditions developed, which are referred to as the generalized impedance boundary conditions (GIBC), yield solutions that recover the exact geometrical constants of the surface wave fields in these problems. In the limiting case of small thickness, the solutions recover the solutions based on the boundary conditions given by L.A. Weinstein (1969). Furthermore, the relatively simple ray solutions developed are shown to be very accurate by comparing them with those obtained by an independent approach based on the moment method
