The radar cross section per unit length is computed in the case of plane‐wave scattering by a lossy multilayer elliptic cylinder. The solution is obtained by a Taylor series approximation of the Mathieu functions of complex argument, which are the eigenfunctions of the lossy elliptic cylinder. A recursive procedure is applied to several test cases in which the multilayer elliptic cylinders are made of significantly lossy materials. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
