EM Scattering from a Coated Conducting Body

In this chapter we discuss the electromagnetic scattering from an arbitrarily shaped perfectly conducting body either partially or fully covered by a thin layer of lossy material.

It is well known that the radar cross section of a conducting body can be reduced if it is coated with an electrically or magnetically lossy layer. There are many applications where lossy materials are applied as coatings to metallic bodies in recent years [57][56][55][54]. Fighter jets and stealth aircraft are good examples.
