Rs. Grannemann et Mi. Jones, Electromagnetic scattering from a dielectric-coated sphere with an embedded impedance film, IEEE ANTENN, 47(8), 1999, pp. 1340-1343
The electromagnetic scattering from a multilayered sphere modal solution of
Wait [1] is modified to allow the inclusion of infinitesimally thin impeda
nce films at layer boundaries. The modified solution is implemented in a co
mputer algorithm and the scattering from an aluminum sphere coated with a d
ielectric Delrin(TM) layer containing an embedded impedance film is compute
d. This target was fabricated and laboratory measurements performed in the
2-18 GHz region are in good agreement with computations.
