Abstract

The microwave scattering characteristics of a metamaterial (MTM) sphere and an MTM coated conducting sphere is compared to that of its DPS (Real (ε) > 0, Real (μ) > 0) counterpart in the presence of an infinite conducting plane using the multipole expansion method and is presented in this article. The DPS medium may be an artificial dielectric or natural dielectric. The differential scattering cross sections and the differential backscattering cross sections of the different types of spheres are presented for a circularly polarized (left or right) beam incident normally on the sphere. The results presented may be useful for maritime applications.
