Abstract :
The far field of point current sources of

,

, and

orientation either internal or external to a dielectric right-circular cylinder are discussed. Simplified general solutions are developed via plane-wave scattering in conjunction with the principle of reciprocity. Radiation patterns for axially oriented sources are illustrated. The results are found to embrace several prior special-condition solutions by others and to refute one previous analysis.
