In this chapter we will consider various scattering problems beginning with the plane monochromatic E°(ω), H°(ω) wave diffraction by the open structure formed by a finite number N_S of infinitely thin, perfectly conducting, unclosed circular cylindrical surfaces containing inclusions in the form of N_ε homogeneous isotropic circular dielectric pivots (N_S+N_ε - N_ε), with the axis parallel to that of the resonator's mirrors (the permittivity and permeability of the medium, ε and μ, depend on spatial co-ordinates). The resonator itself is placed in a homogeneous medium with complex permittivity and permeability.
