Abstract

A generalized model is developed to study the TE-polarized plane wave scattering by coated and uncoated slotted circular cylinders of nonzero thickness and by a filled and not filled circular cylinders with sectorial cuttings. The mathematical treatment is based on the coupled integral equations (IEs) with respect to the tangential electric field at the slot/cutting apertures. The Galerkin method with weighted Gegenbauer polynomials as basis functions is used to convert IEs to a set of linear algebraic equations. Numerical simulations of the radar cross section (RCS) are carried out in the case of single slot/cutting in order to reveal the effect of thickness. Potentials of three approximations to the field in the slot/cutting domain are studied. Their use enables one to substantially accelerate the RCS calculations.
