Wave diffraction by a finite set of azimuthally magnetized ferrite cylinders

The article is devoted to the problem of scattering of plane linear and circular electromagnetic waves by a set of ferrite-coated cylinders. Particular attention is paid to the possibility of controlling the scattering pattern by the azimuthal magnetic field induced in the ferrite by the dc current in metal core of cylinders. It is shown that the best sensitivity can be obtained for the magnetic field, which provides the magnetic resonance inside ferrite layer. Relevant scattering patterns are also presented.
