Scattering of electromagnetic plane wave from a perfect electric conducting strip placed at free space–chiral interface

Abstract

The scattering of electromagnetic plane wave from a perfect electric conducting strip of finite width is investigated in this study. The strip is placed at the planar interface of free space and chiral medium. The Kobayashi potential method is used to determine the scattering from the strip. The dual integral equations are acquired through the boundary conditions. These equations as well as the edge conditions are satisfied through the properties of Weber–Schafheitlin integrals and the Jacobi polynomials. The projection of the Jacobi polynomials is used to get the matrix equations which are solved numerically to determine the unknown coefficients. Monostatic and bistatic scattering widths are examined in the free space region of the geometry. The far-zone scattered fields are analyzed by changing the values of different parameters, i.e. chirality and incident angle.
