Asymptotic analysis of transverse magnetic multiple scattering by the diffraction grating of penetrable cylinders at oblique incidence (Q410822)

The paper presents a rigorous derivation of the asymptotic equations associated with the multiple scattering coefficients of an infinite grating of dielectric circular cylinders for obliquely incident vertically polarized plane electromagnetic waves. The asymptotic behavior is studied when the wavelength of the incident radiation is much larger than the distance between the cylinders. These results are the generalizations of those in the case of non-oblique incidence [\textit{V. Twersky}, ``On scattering of waves by the infinite grating of circular cylinders'', IRE Trans. Antennas and Propag. 10, No. 6, 737--765 (1962; \url{doi:10.1109/TAP.1962.1137940})].
