Parametric study on the scattering characteristics of two impedance cylinders eccentrically coated with Faraday chiral materials

Abstract

The technique of separation variables combined with boundary-value method and additional theorem for the cylindrical wave functions is employed to examine the multiple scattering from two infinitely long, parallel, non-erlapping circular impedance cylinders eccentrically coated with Faraday chiral media at normal incidence. Parametric study is performed to show the effects of constitutive and geometrical variables as well as the incident wave direction on the scattering cross section and other scattering characteristics of two composite eccentrical cylinders. It is believed that the present study provides us some insight into the physical properties of Faraday chiral coatings.
