A study is made of the scattering of a plane electromagnetic wave by a long and thin metallic wire in which the case of arbitrary incidence is considered. The Wiener‐Hopf technique is used to solve the integral equation. Explicit and rather simple expressions for the induced current, the far‐field pattern, and the backscattering cross sections are found; numerical results are presented. These results are in reasonable agreement with existing experimental data.
