Matrix solution to electromagnetic scattering by a conducting cylinder with an eccentric metamaterial coating

Closed series solution to scattering by an eccentric coated cylinder is realized in matrix form. Diffracted radiation characteristics are investigated for N incident plane transverse electric (TE) waves. The solution is obtained by the boundary value analysis and the addition theorem of the Bessel’s functions. Wave transformation and orthogonality of the complex exponentials are also used to find an infinite series in the solution. Numerical results are shown by reducing the infinite series to a limited number of terms and compared to previously published works. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
