Abstract :
This paper presents a creeping wave model for the diffraction of an obliquely incident plane wave by a perfectly conducting or lossy circular cylinder at 60 GHz. The model developed for both TM and TE polarizations is valid for electrically large cylinders and for a receiver in the close vicinity of the surface. An experimental validation is conducted on a perfectly conducting cylinder.
