Scattering performance of a plane wave by conducting finite helix

摘要

The scattering of a plane wave with a linear polarization by a conducting finite helix is presented. The analytical expresses of scattering field are obtained based on the boundary condition of a sheath helix model. Effects of a pitch angle and electrical size of the helix on the resonant behavior are investigated. The analysis shows that resonant behavior of the forward/backward scattering far field is only depended on the pitch electrical size and the radial electrical size, but it is independent of the turn of the helix.
