Abstract The electromagnetic scattering of the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves by elliptic cylindrical structures is considered. To provide a complete set of solutions, formulations are given for four possible configurations. They include conducting elliptic cylinders, made of homogeneous materials, dielectric coated conducting elliptic cylinders and two confocal dielectric elliptic cylinders. Representative numerical results for the scattered fields are also generated and presented.

Elliptic cylindrical structures can scatter transverse electric and magnetic waves, with solutions provided for four possible configurations and numerical results provided.
