Abstract :
It is proved that electromagnetic wave scattering problem for a small impedance body D of an arbitrary shape is uniquely solvable and the scattered field can be found in the form e = ∇× ∫s g(x, t)J(t)dt, where S is the smooth surface of the small body D, J is a tangential field on S, and g(x, t):= eik|x-t|/4π|x-t|. The full field is E = E0 + e, where E0 is the incident field. The scattering amplitude is A(α, β, k) = -ζ|S|/4π √ϵ/μ [β, τ∇×E0(O)], where the origin O is assumed to be inside D, β := x/|x|,|x| →∞, τ := τpq := δpq - 1/|S| ∫s Np(t)Nq(t)dt, α is the unit vector in the direction of the incident plane wave, ϵ and μ are dielectric and magnetic constants of the medium, and δpq is the unit tensor.
