Electromagnetic Scattering by a System of Dielectric Spheres Coated With a Dielectric Shell

Abstract

Analytical solution is derived to the problem of scattering of electromagnetic plane wave by an array of dielectric spheres each coated with a dielectric shell. The incident, scattered and transmitted electric and magnetic fields are expressed in terms of the vector spherical wave functions. The vector spherical translation addition theorem is applied to impose the boundary conditions on the surface of various layers. Numerical results are computed and presented graphically for the radar cross sections of several configurations of spheres system with multi dielectric layers.
