SCATTERING BY A PERFECTLY CONDUCTING CYLINDER IN A COMPRESSIBLE PLASMA,
Abstract
The scattering of a plane electromagnetic (EM) or plasma (P) wave by a perfectly conducting and rigid circular cylinder immersed in an isotropic, compressible plasma is treated. Expressions for all the physical quantities of interest are ob tained in the form of infinite series. For the case of a plane EM wave incidence, numerical re sults for the current induced on the surface of the cylinder, the total scattering cross sections and the back-scattering cross section, are ob tained as a function of keoa for various values of the plasma frequency, where a is the radius of the cylinder and keo is the wave number of the EM wave in free space.
