Scattering by Buried PEMC Cylinder Using Iterative Procedure

A rigorous solution is presented to the problem of scattering by a perfect electromagnetic conducting (PEMC) circular cylinder buried within a dielectric half-space, that is illuminated by a normally incident transverse magnetic (TM) plane wave propagating in free space. The plane wave incident on the planar interface separating the two media generates fields transmitting into the dielectric half-space, which become the incident fields for the buried cylinder. Scattering of these by the cylinder will in turn generate several unknown fields. Imposing boundary conditions at the surface of the cylinder and at a point on the planar interface, enables the evaluation of these unknown fields. The refection coefficient at the above mentioned point is then calculated for cylinders of different sizes, to show how it varies with the PEMC admittance of the cylinder.
