Directive Electromagnetic Scattering by an Infinite Conducting Cylinder Coated with Left-handed Material Jun Sun Tian Jiang Wei Sun Yijun Feng* Department of Electronic Science and Engineering Nanjing University, Nanjing, 210093, P.R. China *Email: yjfeng@ Abstract In this paper, electromagnetic scattering by an infinite conducting cylinder coated with left-handed material (LHM) for an incident wave of a line source is derived rigorously by using a boundary value mode-matching approach. The numerical calculations demonstrate the improved directivity of the electromagnetic scattering by such a cylindrical structure, due to the negative refraction phenomenon of the LHM. The far-field radiation pattern and its frequency dependence exhibit the possible application of the LHM in directive antenna technique. Keywords: left-handed material, electromagnetic scattering, negative refraction 1 Introduction In 1968, Veselago [1] first suggested that electromagnetic wave propagation in an isotropic medium simultaneously having negative dielectric permittivity ε and negative magnetic permeability µ could exhibit very unusual properties. Among the many interesting properties of wave propagation in such media are the appearances of a Pointing vector in the direction opposite to the wave vector and a negative index of refraction. This kind of media, which referred to as left-handed materials (LHM) by Veselago, has recently attracted much attention due to its experimental verification in 2001 by using met
