Full-wave model of 3D scattering by a fibered laminate
Abstract
A full-wave computational model for electromagnetic
scattering of conically incident plane waves with arbitrary
polarization is proposed for a multilayered structure (laminate)
made of dielectric slabs wherein periodically arranged circular
cylinders are embedded. An electric field is considered as the
incident wave with arbitrary polarization. The magnetic field
produced by the incident wave is obtained with Maxwell’s equations.
Both the transverse electric and magnetic field components
are used for mode-matching at the boundary for calculating the
scattering matrices. Power reflection and transmission coefficients
follow from Poynting’s theorem. This work is a first step toward
the Green’s function of the structure, in view of imaging a
possibly damaged laminate
