Abstract

The scattering of a low frequency electromagnetic wave by a metallic cone, whose base is part of a spherical surface centered on the apex of the cone, is analyzed using a mode matching technique. The dipole contributions to the scattering are obtained in complete generality, and numerical results are presented for a wide range of cone angles. Comparisons of the computed data with the predictions of an empirical formula for the scattering reveal both the strengths and weaknesses of the latter.
