Abstract

An analytical solution is presented for the electromagnetic scattering from a perfect electromagnetic conducting circular cylinder, embedded in the dielectric half-space. The solution utilizes the spectral (plane wave) representations of the fields and accounts for all the multiple interactions between the buried circular cylinder and the dielectric interface separating the two half spaces.
