Solution of the problem of electromagnetic scattering by a thin dielectric cylinder with the use of the auxiliary source method

Abstract

The problem of electromagnetic scattering by a thin solid dielectric cylinder is solved in the resonance frequency range by means of the auxiliary source method. The developed computer code is briefly described. The domain of applicability of the method for calculating the scattering characteristics of thin dielectric objects is investigated. The scattering cross sections of cylinders having various lengths and various values of the relative permittivity are numerically calculated.
