Abstract
A generalized problem of electromagnetic scattering from perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) circular cylinder hosted by magnetized plasma is investigated. The physical modeling of the scattering problem is done in the frame work of extended classical scattering theory. The cylindrical wave excitation is considered for both types of polarization i.e., TE and TM. The influence of plasma parameters and the effect of external magnetic field strength on the scattering amplitude is discussed and analyzed. The influence of external magnetic field strength on scattering amplitude is, in accordance with the literature. Further, the numerical results are compared with published literature and good agreement is found. It is concluded that scattering amplitude can be controlled with the increase of magnetic field strength, the radar cross section is decreased and vice versa. Moreover, stealth capability can be increased by the appropriate choice of perfect cylinder..
