Abstract :
A new formalism for studying electromagnetic scattering on nonspherical axisymmetric particles is presented. The main advantages of this formalism are the strong similarity to the well-known Mie theory, the simple convergence behaviour and the use of expansion functions that are better adapted to the nonspherical scatterer geometry than spherical harmonics. Numerical results for the scattering characteristics of an ellipsoid and a sphere in the microwave region will be given.
