The time-harmonic electromagnetic field in a uniaxial dielectric-magnetic medium is considered. Specifically, using the approach of Fikioris, expressions to estimate the electromagnetic field in a source region are obtained. The derived results are specialized for an electrically small source region of arbitrary convex shape, and detailed calculations are presented for spherical geometry. These specialized results may be applied for scattering by an electrically small object as well as in homogenization of particulate composites.
