SCATTERING FROM A CONDUCTING CYLINDER CLAD WITH AN ANISOTROPIC PLASMA.

Abstract

The scattering of an electromagnetic wave from a conducting cylinder clad with an anisotropic plasma of arbitrary electron density is considered. Resonant behavior of the system is investigated. The resonant conditions are obtained, and damping of resonant scattering by finite size effects and collisional dissipation is studied. Rayleigh and Geometrical Optics limiting cases are derived and the approach of the plasma scattering to that from a metallic body for increasing plasma frequency (electron density) is obtained. A parametrization of the scattering behavior as a function of the pertinent parameters of the system is presented in graphical form and comparisons with the scattering from an unclad cylinder and from a planar conductor sheathed with a plasma are made.
