Abstract
In order to explore the application of terahertz (THz) vortex beams in 3D dielectric-coated target detection and imaging, scattering characteristics of a THz Bessel vortex beam by 3D dielectric-coated conducting targets are investigated in terms of the combination of planewave angular spectrum expansion and a physics optics method in this paper. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by comparing with the results of FEKO software. The scattering characteristics of a THz Bessel vortex beam by several typical 3D dielectric-coated targets are analyzed in detail. The effects of the beam parameters (topological charge, half-cone angle, incident angle and frequency) are discussed. The results show that with an increase of topological charge, the magnitude of the radar cross section (RCS) decreases, and the maximum value moves away from the incident direction gradually; the distribution of the RCS does not keep symmetry as the incident angle increases, and the corresponding orbital angular momentum state distribution of the far-scattered field is distorted remarkably.
