Scattered electromagnetic and plasma waves of a conducting cylinder coated with a compressible plasma

  • Published:
Applied Scientific Research, Section B

Summary

When an electromagnetic wave is incident upon an interface between a free space and a compressible plasma, both an electromagnetic wave and a plasma wave are excited. This paper solves the scattering problem of an infinitely long conducting cylinder which is coated with a layer of compressible plasma. The source is assumed to be a magnetic line current which gives rise to an incident magnetic field with only an axial component. Complete expressions for both the scattered electric and magnetic fields and the guided pressure field are obtained. Scattering by a compressible plasma column and that by a conducting cylinder coated with an incompressible plasma layer are special cases of the present problem.
