Interaction of directive electromagnetic radiation with isotropic plasma-coated PEMC cylinder

ABSTRACT

In this study, we analyzed the influence of isotropic plasma on far field scattering radiation of perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) cylinder in the presence of directive electromagnetic radiation excited from an electric line source. Two cases regarding electric line source have been considered to gain more graphical variation corresponding to plasma parameters. In the first case, electric line source is placed outside the coating layer while in second case electric line source placed inside the coating. It has been demonstrated that the far field scattering patterns of PEMC, PEC, and PMC are strongly dependent on plasma parameters; however, their importance to control scattering pattern slightly changed/reversed corresponding to electric line source placement (inside the coating and outside the coating).
