Two different but equivalent multipole methods are applied to the problem of determining the scattering of an electromagnetic wave by a perfectly conducting cylinder over a dielectric half‐space. Numerical results are presented for different sets of parameter values. The results seem to be in good agreement with those obtained by geometrical optics methods for the high‐frequency case, and qualitative results can be obtained by a relatively simple procedure based on geometrical optics.
