“…In the past, analytical solutions to the scattering of conducting cylinders with or without surrounding dielectric materials [1,2] were derived. While various approaches including impedance loading [3], plasma coating [4], cloaking [5,6], and hard surfaces [7] were extensively studied with the purpose of reducing the scattering from conducting cylinders, relatively limited measures, such as random rough surfaces [8], complementary media [9], and phase gradient metasurface [10,11], were emphasized for the sake of enhancing the scattering. Besides, the reported scattering enhancement of cylinders mainly concentrates on passive and static techniques, which indicates that the angular range of the enhancement effect is probably narrow and their application thus suffers from certain restrictions.…”
