Scattering by a perfectly conducting multislotted cylinder

Abstract

The problem of scattering by a perfectly conducting multislotted circular cylinder excited by a z-polarized incident plane wave is presented. The solution is carried out using two methods of analysis. In the first method, the fields in and around the cylinder are found in terms of the aperture fields, using the boundary value technique. Then Galerkin's method is introduced to solve for the unknown aperture fields. In the second method, the aperture-field integral equation method is employed and the fields in and around the cylinder are found in terms of the aperture fields, while the resulting equations are solved using the method of moments. Results are obtained and presented using the two methods.
