Abstract :
The scattering of a normally incident plane wave from an infinitely long, elliptical cylinder is investigated using the combined method of ray tracing and diffraction (CMRTD). Both horizontally and vertically polarized incident plane waves are considered. The analytical solution is given for the case when the size of the elliptical cylinder is large compared to the wavelength of the incident field, which is applied to simulate scattering from one row of elliptical trees in radiowave propagation. The numerical simulation results are presented and discussed.
