The problem of scattering of electromagnetic waves is one of the most essential problems of electromagnetic theory and presents a significant interest in both theoretical and practical applications (e.g. telecommunications, electromagnetic interaction, biomedicine, remote sensing, etc.) The solution to such a problem involves the computation of surface or spatial current density on scatterers followed by the computation of scattering field (near or far) as well as various other parameters (i.e. scattering cross section). For real scatterers the scattered field is also a function of their electrical characteristics beyond all other parameters that are involved in such problems. This paper investigates the impact of the electrical characteristics of several materials to the scattered electromagnetic field.
