NEAR-FIELD SCATTERING BY A CONDUCTING CYLINDER PARTIALLY BURIED IN A CONDUCTING PLANE

The problem of far field scattering from an infinitely long perfectly conducting circular cylinder that is partially buried in a conducting plane was studied previously with the help of the image principle and the cylindrical vector wave functions for both transverse magnetic (TM ) and transverse electric (TE) polarizations of the obliquely incident plane wave. The results of the scattered near field when the observat ion point is very close to the cylinder as a function of the electrica l radius, the angle of incidence and the height parameter are presente d in this article.
