Diffraction of Electromagnetic Waves by a Wedge With Perfectly Absorbing and Impedance Faces

Abstract

The scattering process of electromagnetic waves by a wedge with perfectly absorbing and impedance faces is investigated. The scattered geometric optics waves are obtained for two cases, namely the illumination of single and double faces. The geometric optic field is expressed as a sum of two fields, which represent two wedges with different boundary conditions. The diffracted waves are determined for both of the wedge configurations. The behaviours of the total, total geometric optics and diffracted fields are studied numerically.
