Abstract: The state-space method for scattering from dielectric bodies is extended to scattering from conducting bodies of revolution. Using spherical wave expansions and Waterman's extended boundary condition the scattering problem is reduced to the solution of first-order linear differential equations in state-space form with known initial conditions. The vanishing of the multipole coefficients for the ingoing scattered radiation at the outer boundary of the body is suggested as a check for the accuracy of the solution. Applications to certain class of surfaces are discussed and a general comparison is made with methods using only linear algebraic equations.
