Investigations into some new integral forms of bessel functions with applications to scattering from cylinders

The mutual coupling between two antennas on a convex surface is, for example, solved by using the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) for electrically large bodies. However when new generalizations of asymptotic solutions are developed, they are compared against the exact solution to the same canonical problem. This validation process, in general, indicates the necessity for accurate computation of the exact solution. The subject of this paper is the accurate computation of the radiation and scattering from circular cylinders with electrically large radii (ka rarr infin).
