Synopsis

This book presents a novel method for determining the diffracted far field caused by incident plane waves or line sources in the presence of an absorbing wedge. The author examines impedance boundary conditions valid for the case of an absorbing surface, while also considering surfaces that support surface waves. The book explores the relationships between these electromagnetic fields, explaining how one can be transformed into another. Complex mathematical derivations are used to provide solutions to these wave equations, resulting in precise formulas that define the far field radiation patterns. The author then applies these formulas to classical problems of diffraction by perfectly conducting wedges and half planes, providing both derivations and numerical examples. This book is an essential reference for researchers and students working in electromagnetics, antenna design, and related fields.
