H‐polarized plane wave diffraction by a slotted cylinder with different surface impedances: Solution by the analytical—Numerical approach

Abstract

Abstract The study investigates the H‐polarized plane wave diffraction by a slotted cylinder with different surface impedances employing an analytical‐numerical approach. The solution is obtained by expressing the current distribution on the obstacle with Gegenbauer polynomials considering the edge conditions. To obtain the field and current distribution on the surface, the Leontovich boundary condition on each side of the slotted cylinder is employed. The results are compared with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary condition cases obtained previously. It is observed that the resonant field amplitudes and the location at the resonances strongly depend on the impedance values.
