Electromagnetic scattering from nonuniform magnetized ferrite cylinder

An analytical technique, called the scattering matrix method, is developed to analyze the scattering of a plane wave from a nonuniform ferrite cylinder. It is proved that the derived formulas for nonuniform ferrite cylinders can be degenerated to the formulas for uniform ferrite cylinders published in the literature. The characteristics of scattering by ferrite cylinders with a linear profile are investigated versus applied magnetic fields and wave frequencies. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
