Suppression of scattering waves from a long, thin metal rod by magnetic material coating

Scattering wave suppression by ferrite composite coating on long, thin metal rods is presented. The coating effect depends on not only the material permeability and thickness, but also on the incident and scattering directions. Numerical results are given at 1, 3, and 10 GHz. At 10 GHz, experimental results are also presented.
