A SLOTTED CYLINDER WITH ZERO BACK SCATTERING.
Abstract
It is shown that the back scattering of a thick cylinder can be eliminated by slotting the cylinder and backing the slot with an optimum impedance. An infinite cylinder with an impedance-backed longitudinal slot is assumed to be illuminated by a plane EM wave with a transverse electric field. The induced current and the scattered fields are studied. The optimum impedance which backs the longitudinal slot to achieve zero back scattering is explicitly obtained. This optimum impedance should prove useful in the practice of radar camouflage. (Author)
