Abstract

An analytical solution for the scattering of an electromagnetic plane wave from a perfect electromagnetic conducting (PEMC) circular cylinder coated with chiral material is derived. The PEMC cylinder as well as coating layer is of infinite length (2-D problem). Parallel polarization of the plane wave is considered for the analysis. The response of the chiral coated geometry has been observed for DPS-chiral, DNG-chiral and chiral-nihility coating layers. Also the behavior of the monostatic echo width for DPS-chiral and DNG-chiral layers has been studied against the admittance parameter. Results of bistatic echo width for the PEMC, PEC and PMC core have been presented. Under special conditions our results are in a very good agreement with the published literature.
