Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves by Obstacles in the Presence of the Earth's Surface.

Abstract

The electromagnetic scattering from a geometrically fat tubular cylinder above a dissipative dielectric half-space has been investigated. Extensive experimental data were obtained and were found to be in agreement with theoretical results. The theory made use of an explicit analytical solution of the scattering from such a cylinder when in a single medium. Because the cylinder is a finite object with two variable geometrical parameters, it represents a very useful model for future experimental studies on the scattering from more complicated objects.
