Abstract :
A relation is presented that determines the total current induced by a general plane wave obliquely incident or a perfectly electrically conducting cylinder of arbitrary cross section from the total current induced by a normally incident plane wave. Remarkably, this same relation ran also be used to determine the physical optics (PO) and nonuniform (NU) currents for oblique incidence directly from the PO and NU currents, respectively, for normal incidence
