The exact analytical solution of the problem utilizing Mathieu functions is obtained and is used to derive optimal surface impedances to cloak a number of configurations. Specifically, theoretical designs are presented which can minimize the scattering from line source excited dielectric elliptical cylinders, as well as conducting strips immersed in such structures. It will be shown that the required surface impedances are angle-dependent; that their performance has limitations with respect to the source and observation point locations.","PeriodicalId":400853,"journal":{"name":"2016 URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114143261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is applied here to analyze the scattering by a finite frequency selective surface (FSS), and by a finite reflectarray, respectively when they are excited by a nearby antenna. The UTD yields not only a relatively simple solution to these problems, but it also lends physical insights into the scattering mechanisms via Floquet modal rays arising from the interior points, and diffracted rays arising from the truncation boundaries, respectively, of such finite structures. Numerical examples are shown to validate the UTD analysis.","PeriodicalId":400853,"journal":{"name":"2016 URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124701126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
