摘要
A finite-different time-domain （FDTD） algorithm is applied in this paper to study the bistatic electromagnetic（EM） scattering by a conductive cylinder covered with inhomogeneous, collision, cold, time-varying plasma. The collision frequency of plasma is a function of the electron density and the pressure of the background gas. The plasma density follows any prescribed distribution function of the rise time of plasma and the radius of the column. The bistatic radar cross section （RCS） of the conductive cylinder covered with inhomogeneous time-varying plasma and inhomogeneous steady-state plasma is calculated under different conditions. The results illustrate that a plasma cloaking system can successfully reduce the RCS of the conductive cylinder.
