Abstract
Electromagnetic scattering by small particles is an important key problem of the diffraction theory. From the moment of occurrence of the first papers on this subject and up to now, the most widely used mathematical model, applied for solution to a problem of scattering on small objects, is dipole approximation (Rayleigh approximation). This approach is quite detailed for particular cases of scattering on spheres and ellipsoids when solution to an associated electrostatic problem can be obtained explicitly. It should be noted that problem solution in electrostatic approximation in a general case is a complicated problem in itself and labor input for its solution is comparable to the labor input for solution of an initial wave problem. The existing methods for its solution have a range of fundamental limitations. This paper develops methodology based on the use of pattern equation method (PEM) which was initially proposed in 1992. It was clearly demonstrated in a significant number of publications that PEM has important advantages over multiple alternative methods and is quite efficient for solving a wide range of problems. While building up a new approach to the analysis of scattering on small bodies, we used a high convergence of PEM, established in the above papers. Indeed, as was demonstrated by previous works of the authors of the given article, in order to solve a problem of scat-tering on impedance bodies, the typical size of which is comparable to the primary field wavelength, it is sufficient to consider one to three summands in the scattering pattern decomposition, depending on polarization of an incident field. This circumstance allowed obtaining explicit formulas for integrated scattering characteristics, applicable for impedance scatterers of complex shape. This paper develops approximated method of calculation of integrated characteristics of scattering on thin dielectric cylinders, based on the use of PEM. Explicit formulas were obtained for integrated scattering characteristics, which are applied to dielectric cylinders with arbitrary cross section. Applicability of the obtained ratios is analyzed by a range of examples: scattering on an elliptic cylinder and scattering on a cylinder, the cross section of which has a shape of superellipse. As shown by the presented re-sults, the obtained approximated relations are quite accurate in a wide range of problem parameters.
