Abstract
It is well known that the scattered field of a z polarized plane wave incident on a dielectric circular cylinder can be expanded as an infinite series involving Hankel functions. From numerical calculations of this expansion, Lam and Yedlin [5] observed that the mean square measure, over all space, of the difference of the scattered fields from two or more distinct values of the dielectric constant of the cylinder can take very small values, thereby almost contradicting the uniqueness property. We investigate this phenomenon rigorously using uniform asymptotic expansions of Bessel functions, and from our analysis we determine the spurious values of the dielectric constant which lead to this quasi-nonuniqueness.
