Scattering of Multilayer Concentric Elliptical Cylinders Excited by Single Mode Source

Abstract

Abstract-The Electromagnetic (EM) fields of a concentric, mismatched-material, elliptical system are studied when excited by an interior or exterior electric surface current. The interior or exterior surface current is assumed to be proportional to a single, angular Mathieu mode. It is shown that despite the fact that the system is concentric, that a single Mathieu mode surface current excites EM Mathieu-mode fields of all orders. A derivation of the EM fields due a single mode electric surface in an infinite, homogeneous media is given, as well as the matrix formulation from which the EM fields of the mismatched-material, elliptical system may be determined. Validation of numerical results and comparison with other research work is given for both interior and exterior single-mode, current sources. Detailed numerical examples of the EM fields that result for a singlemode, exterior source excitation are given for the first time. Discussion of the EM mode coupling that results by single-mode excitation on a mismatched elliptical system is given.

Ultra Wide Band RCS Optimization of Multilayerd Cylindrical Structures for Arbitrarily Polarized Incident Plane Waves

“…In this paper, we employ the fullwave theory of addition theorems for the computation of RCS for multilayered circular cylindrical objects [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The reduction of an object RCS is of interest in military and electronic warefare, which may be realized by different techniques: (1) object shaping, (2) discrete loading, (3) continuous loading, and (4) active loading.…”

Mutual Coupling of Printed Elements on a Cylindrically Layered Structure Using Closed-Form Green's Functions

“…The importance of cylindrically layered structures has led to the investigation of the scattering from infinite conducting, dielectric or dielectric-coated conducting cylinders and the radiation from patches, microstrip lines on cylindrical structures and cylindrical-rectangular, wraparound microstrip antennas [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. In this paper, a hybrid method which combines the use of closed-form Green's functions with the spectral domain analysis, is utilized to calculate the mutual coupling of printed elements on cylindrically stratified structures.…”
