The interaction of a stratified cylinder with an elliptically inhomogeneous plane wave is introduced and also determined through a rigorous theoretical approach. The scattered electromagnetic field by a multilayered cylinder is investigated through an application of the generalized Vector Cylinder Harmonics (VCH) expansion. The exact mathematical model to represent this scenario considers the so-called complex-angle formalism reaching a superposition of Vectorial Cylindrical-Harmonics and the T-matrix formulation to contemplate the multi-scattering process between the cylinders.

In this paper, a rigorous theoretical approach, adopted in order to generalize the Vectorial Cylindrical-Harmonics (VCH) expansion of an inhomogeneous elliptically polarized plane wave, is presented. An application of the VCH expansion to analyze electromagnetic field scattered by an infinite circular cylinder is presented. The results are obtained using the so-called complex-angle formalism reaching a superposition of Vectorial Cylindrical-Harmonics. To validate the method, a Matlab code was implemented.

The interaction between an ensemble of cylinders and an inhomogeneous plane wave is introduced and is determined, in the present paper, through a rigorous theoretical approach. Scattered electromagnetic field generated by an indefinite number of infinite circular cylinders is analyzed by the application of the generalized vector cylinder harmonics (VCH) expansion.
