Plane electromagnetic wave scattering by transversely magnetized ferrite cylinder

The paper is devoted to the problem of scattering of plane electromagnetic wave by transversely magnetized ferrite cylinder. Exact analytical expressions for all partial cylindrical modes are obtained by solving Maxwell’s equations for transversely magnetized ferrite medium in cylindrical coordinate system. They are represented as the power series expansion and then are used to formulate and to solve the boundary problem. Numerical calculations of scattering patterns are also presented. Particular attention is paid to the possibility to control the scattering pattern by the external magnetic field.
