Abstract

Consider a cylindrical structure with an arbitrary core coated by a radially inhomogeneous layer in a general case. The core of the structure may be PEC, PMC, PEMC, impedance boundary, dielectric, or metamaterial. Contrary to the scattering problems of homogeneous media, scattering problems of inhomogeneous media do not have exact solutions except for special inhomogeneous profiles. In this paper, a general frequency domain method is proposed to analyze scattering from such structures on the basis of Taylor’s series concept for obliquely incident electromagnetic (EM) waves with arbitrary polarizations. The validity of the suggested method is verified by comparison with the exact solutions of some special profiles for the coating layer. Furthermore, a comparison is made between the proposed method and other commonly used methods in the literature, which confirms that the proposed method is general, fast, and has good convergence toward the solution. Moreover, as an application, we employed the method for optimization of the scattering echo width of a PEC cylinder.
