Tb. Hansen et Ra. Shore, THE CURRENTS ON A CYLINDER ILLUMINATED BY A GENERAL OBLIQUELY-INCIDENT PLANE-WAVE, IEEE transactions on antennas and propagation, 43(12), 1995, pp. 1464-1465
A relation is presented that determines the total current induced by a
general plane wave obliquely incident on a perfectly electrically con
ducting cylinder of arbitrary cross section from the total current ind
uced by a normally incident plane wave. Remarkably, this same relation
can also be used to determine the physical optics (PO) and nonuniform
(NU) currents for oblique incidence directly from the PO and NU curre
nts, respectively, for normal incidence.
