  A general scattering problem of a plane electromagnetic wave on an infinite
cylindrical rod is formulated and solved in a form of Bessel functions series
expansion. The conductivity account via Ohm law directly in Maxwell equation
leads to complex wavenumber and hence the complex arguments of Bessel functions
inside the cylinder. The general formula for averaged by period Pointing vector
is derived. For numerical calculations asymptotics of Bessel functions are
used. Dependence of scattered wave intensity as function of angle and frequency
is presented for different values of the rod radius.
