ON EXAMINING THE INFLUENCE OF A THIN DIELECTRIC STRIP POSED ACROSS THE DIAMETER OF A PENETRABLE RADIATING CYLINDER

A thin rectangular dielectric strip is located along the horizontal diameter of a penetrable rod, while the whole structure is illuminated by a plane wave at an arbitrary angle. The unknown field on the slab-sided scatterer is determined by dividing it into a large number of square pixels and thus the problem is solved via analytical integration. A quantity expressing the effect of the strip in the far region is defined and graphically represented with respect to the problem parameters. The attached diagrams are examined and discussed.
