Abstract

A solution is given for the problem of a plane wave incident obliquely on a circular cylinder of infinite length. The electric properties of the cylinder are taken to be homogeneous and isotropic but otherwise arbitrary. It is shown that in the general case the scattered field contains a significant cross-polarized component which vanishes at normal incidence. While the solution is derived for the magnetic vector of the incident wave transverse to the axis of the cylinder, the corresponding result for the other polarization can be obtained from symmetry.
