Extract

Introduction. The problem of the scattering of high-frequency waves, which emanate from a line source in a homogeneous isotropic dielectric medium and impinge upon a cylindrical obstacle, has been attacked in a variety of ways. In certain cases, where both the shape of the obstacle and the conditions to be satisfied on its boundary are particularly convenient, an exact solution may be found by separation of the wave equation (see, for example, Marcuvitz (l)), but in general some form of approximation is necessary to obtain an explicit answer.
