Description

A conversion between two eigenfunction bases of spheroidal vector wavefunctions is described, both bases comprising two independent sets of solutions for the electro-magnetic vector wave equation with azimuthal symmetry. A set of definite integrals over the angular variable, arising in the conversion is evaluated in closed form, each integral containing a product of two angular spheroidal wavefunctions with m = 0 or 1, weighted by algebraic functions
