Parametric study of the absorption cross section for a moderately conducting thin cylinder
Abstract:
Asystem has been developed to measure the absorption cross section for a single carbon fiber at 35 GHz as a functio of length, orientation, and diameter. Typical lengths of the fibers considered ranged from 1 to 20 mm, and diameters ranged from 3 to 8 µm. The results were compared with the modified integra equation calculations of Waterman and Pedersen that describe the scattering and absorption behavior for a wire of finite length and conductivity. Good agreement was found for all lengths, orientations, and diameters studied.
