THE MINIMIZATION OF BACK SCATTERING OF A CYLINDER BY DOUBLE LOADING,
Abstract
A theory on the minimization of the back scattering of a cylinder by loading a cylinder at two points with lumped impedances is presented. The induced current on a doubly loaded cylinder when illuminated by a plane electromagnetic wave at an arbitrary angle is obtained. The optimum loading to eliminate the broadside back scattering which is caused by the symmetrical component of the induced current is established. A suitable loading to reduce the off-broadside back scattering, due to the antisymmetrical component of the induced current, is also determined. A proper choice of the impedance and the position of double loading can lead to the reduction of the back scattering over a wide aspect range. The useful formulas for optimum loading the some graphical illustrations are included. The advantages of double loading over central loading are discussed. (Author)
