Abstract

The distribution of electric field of an anisotropic dielectric elliptic sphere is presented by reforming both the electromagnetic parameter and shape parameter of this ellipsoid based on the scales transformation of electromagnetic theory. The obtained results are tested. The RCS of the anisotropic target is developed. Simulations show that the direction of incident electric field and the dielectric constant tensor influences RCS remarkably but the target’ size doesn’t have a great effect on it. The obtained results have some significance in the research of electromagnetic scattering by a complicated anisotropic target.
