The boundary-element method (BEM) is applied to calculate target strength (TS) and extinction cross-section of a scatterer. The scattering amplitudes of four types of prolate spheroid, namely, the vacant, rigid, liquid-filled, and gas-filled, are calculated using the BEM. Comparison between the results of the BEM and the prolate-spheroid model (PSM), which is a numerical calculation using spheroidal-wave functions, shows excellent agreement for the vacant, rigid, and liquid-filled spheroids. The TS of a gas-filled prolate spheroid, calculated by the BEM, shows resonance at a low frequency. The lowest resonant frequency, the peak ratio, and the quality factor (Q) of this resonance are compared with those given by the T-matrix and an analytical solution. Again the results show excellent agreement.
