Abstract
Solutions of the scalar wave equation for parabolic cylinder coordinate system are discussed here. Dyadic Green's functions of the magnetic type for free space and for a perfectly conducting parabolic cylinder are developed. These functions are of fundamental importance for the solution of electromagnetic problems developed in the parabolic cylinder coordinate system, particularly those in the presence of perfectly conducting parabolic cylinders such as that of a parabolic cylinder reflector.
