A uniform plane wave incident on a cylindrical electron beam is simulated using a wave guiding structure consisting of parallel planar conductors. The wave guide is fed with a horn antenna using a pulse generator providing 4 kW peak power at 1.080 GHz. Scattered field from the electron beam is measured by a probe using a cancellation technique. Measurements compare favorably with theory.

Plane Wave Incident

The question of the reflection of a wave by a cylindrical mirror is of interest in a number of fields. It is a problem in which it is difficult to obtain an expression for the reflected or scattered field without recourse to physical assumptions which are sometimes somewhat dubious. An attempt was made by Sommerfeld to solve the problem of a plane wave incident upon such a perfectly conducting mirror by means of what he termed the “Non-Final Determination of Coefficients”. Unfortunately, a close examination of the problem renders it doubtful whether the method can be legitimately employed. It is possible, however, to solve the problem by expressing the scattered field in terms of the currents produced in the mirror, and finding the current generated in the mirror by an arbitrary incident field. The problem which we shall consider is the following two- dimensional one.

Linear water-wave theor is used in conjuctin with a wide-spacing approximation to develop closed-form expressions for the reflection and transmission coeffcients appropriate to a plane wave incident upon any number of identical equally spaced obstacles in two dimensins, and also to derive a real expressin from which the sloshing requencies, which occur when the bodies are bounded by rigid walls, can be determined. In each case the solutin is in terms of known properties of radiation problems associated with any one of the bodies in isolation.

Plane Wave Incident

I am indebted to Weaver if he has indeed clarified certain points which I had previously considered to be obvious. Cagniard (1953) states explicitly the magnitude of the wavelengths in free space and it is further implicit in the work of Rankin (1962) that it is indeed this same electromagnetic field which is being considered. The plane wave aspect of the problem arises from the extent of and not the distance from the source so that truly it is the induction field and not the radiation field that is under discussion. I had believed, until this note by Weaver, that d’Erceville and Kunetz (1962) also considered a plane wave incident on the earth and in fact that I was merely following both Cagniard and d’Erceville and Kunetz in this matter. The consistency of the results would tend to confirm this belief.

The Fourier Transform

It is shown that the total field produced by a plane wave incident upon a scattering body can be expressed at all points in space as the sum of the incident field and the Fourier transform of a quantity which is related to the scattering matrix. For points exterior to the minimum convex surface enclosing the body, the scattered field is reducible to a plane-wave representation which requires knowledge of the bistatic scattered field, for a fixed frequency and direction of incidence. It is shown that for certain cases, the resulting expression for the bistatic scattered field may be employed in interior portions of the minimum convex shape (including the body) in which case it represents the field arising from a set of equivalent sources. Alternative representations are also given. A technique is presented which yields the surface of a perfectly-conducting piecewise-smooth body from knowledge of the local total field. To achieve uniqueness, the technique must be applied for at least two different frequencies. Numerical results are presented which illustrate the technique.

Plane Wave Incident

A solution is outlined for the problem of a plane wave incident obliquely on a parallel-wire grid which is backed by a plane conducting surface. The electric vector of the incident wave is taken to be parallel to the grid wires. The equivalent transmission line problem is pointed out. It is shown that, in certain cases, a resistive wire grid will absorb all the energy in the incident wave.
