Abstract
A formal solution to the scattered field of a particle of arbitrary sh ape and optical constants located on or near a perfectly conducting su rface is derived. The solution is in terms of a vector harmonic expans ion. The only knowledge required of the particle is its scattering coe fficients when the plane surface is not present. It is sufficiently ge neral that the particle can be inhomogeneous or represent a set of sub particles.
