Print on Demand. This book explores the diffraction of a plane wave by a semi-infinite unidirectionally conducting screen. The author reduces the problem to the determination of a single scalar wave function. This wave function is then obtained explicitly in terms of functions associated with the diffraction by a perfectly conducting half plane. A simplified far field representation is found, and the solution is supported by an existence proof. The author shows that the idealization employed by Toraldo di Francia, whose work laid the groundwork for this study, is valid. The resulting solution is defined by a set of equations and asymptotic representations of the solution valid for large distances are indicated. The insights presented in this book on the diffraction of a plane wave by a unidirectionally conducting half-plane are significant for their contribution to the field of electromagnetics, as they provide a deeper understanding of the behavior of electromagnetic waves in the presence of such screens, enhancing our capability to design and optimize electromagnetic devices and systems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Exact solution for how a plane electromagnetic wave diffracts off a semi‑infinite, unidirectionally conducting screen.
This work presents a rigorous boundary‑value problem and its precise solution, showing why the idealization makes sense for large, finite screens as well.
The paper lays out the geometry, incident field, and boundary conditions, then reduces the problem to a scalar wave function. It explains how the total field behaves near the edge, and how the solution is constructed to satisfy outgoing conditions at infinity and edge regularity. The result builds on known solutions for perfectly conducting screens and adapts them to the unidirectional case, with explicit formulas for the key quantities and their large‑distance behavior.- Learn how the boundary conditions model unidirectional conductivity and how they lead to a single scalar function that governs the diffraction.
- See how the edge behavior is treated to ensure a unique, physically meaningful solution.
- Understand how the scalar solution determines the electromagnetic fields and the total wave pattern.
- Get a sense of how this exact solution informs approximate approaches for large yet finite screens.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
