Abstract: The scattered wave components of a plane polarized electromagnetic wave by an elliptic cylindrical scatterer are obtained as a parameter expansion of the more exact circular cylindrical obstacle. The scattering potential of a scalar wave by a hyperboloidal scatterer as a parameter expansion of a circular cone is also obtained. The parameter of expansion in both cases is the semi-interfocal distance.
