Abstract
Solutions of electromagnetic scattering problems are obtained by appropriate application of the Maxwell electromagnetic equations to scattered of a specified geometry. Formal solutions for the scattering by cylinders and spheres are well-known, classic results of this approach. This paper presents a unified theory of electromagnetic scattering for infinite cylinders and spheres, in which the scattering coefficients have a common functional form with the geometry being determined by whether half-integer (sphere) or integer (cylinder) order Bessel functions are used. The application of the theory to the development of new scattering codes is also described.
