Abstract  Based on the analytical solution of electromagnetic scattering by a uniaxial anisotropic sphere in the spectral domain, an analytical solution to the electromagnetic scattering by a uniaxial left-handed materials (LHMs) sphere is obtained in terms of spherical vector wave functions in a uniaxial anisotropic LHM medium. The expression of the analytical solution contains only some one-dimensional integral which can be calculated easily. Numerical results show that Mie series of plane wave scattering by an isotropic LHM sphere is a special case of the present method. Some numerical results of electromagnetic scattering of a uniaxial anisotropic sphere by a plane wave are given.
