Abstract
The aim of this paper is to outline the theory for calculating the angular and radial Mathieu functions of complex arguments. These functions are required for the computation of analytic solutions of electromagnetic scattering by lossy dielectric elliptic cylinders and waveguides. The backscattered echo width of a lossy dielectric elliptic cylinder is compared with the special case of lossy circular and weakly lossy elliptic cylinders and excellent agreement is obtained in all cases. Tabulated and plotted numerical results of typical Mathieu functions are presented.
