Abstract
Diffraction patterns of a brass tube and a hard rubber rod, each a cylinder of 1 in. diameter, in a nearly plane beam of square-wave modulated 3 cm. waves with electric vector parallel to the cylinder axis, have been measured in several planes transverse to the incident beam direction. Experimental results for the conducting cylinder agree closely with calculations based on scalar diffraction theory. Patterns of the dielectric rod show a pronounced central peak immediately behind the rod and other intensity effects differing from the conducting cylinder patterns, particularly in the vicinity of the shadow.Keywords
