The problem of plane electromagnetic wave scattering by two concentrically layered dielectric spheres is investigated analytically using the modal expansion method. Two different solutions to this problem are obtained. In the first solution the boundary conditions are satisfied simultaneously at all spherical interfaces, while in the second solution an iterative approach is used and the boundary conditions are satisfied successively for each iteration. To impose the boundary conditions at the outer surface of the spheres, the translation addition theorem of the spherical vector wave functions is employed to express the scattered fields by one sphere in the coordiante system of the other sphere. Numerical results for the bistatic and back-scattering cross sections are presented graphically for various sphere sizes, layer thicknesses and permittivities, and angles of incidence.
