ABSTRACT
In this chapter the applicability of the higher order impedance boundary conditions to the solution of scattering by coated conducting circular cylinders will be addressed. Coatings made up of simple dielectric as well as chiral material will be considered. The examples will illustrate the effects of curvature on the accuracy of the higher order impedance boundary conditions that are based on a planar canonical problem. Examination of the exact series solution for this problem leads directly to a means of correcting the planar higher order impedance boundary conditions for the effects of curvature.
