Scattering of an obliquely incident electromagnetic wave by an arbitrary configuration of parallel, nonoverlapping infinite cylinders is considered in this study. The incident wave is plane polarized with either of the field vectors parallel to the axes of the cylinders. The solution to the scalar wave equations is obtained by using the boundary value method. The total wave potentials in the vicinity of a cylinder is constructed by including the contributions from the primary incident wave and the scattered waves from all the cylinders. Expressions for the coefficients of the scattered wave potentials are obtained in terms of those for independent scattering. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the effect of dependent scattering by an assembly of cylinders.
