ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with propagation problems in cylindrical geometries. The classical problem of the diffraction of a plane wave by a conducting and a lossy cylinder is first presented. This is followed by the fields produced by an electric line source and by a dipole in the presence of a conducting cylinder, where Green function solutions are used and an asymptotic evaluation of the fields is obtained. The fields from vertical electric and magnetic dipoles above a lossy surface are discussed in detail, as well as the fields due to a horizontal electric dipole. This chapter ends with a discussion of the radiation from an aperture in a circular cylinder.
