Interaction of plane waves by a half-screen between two different media

摘要

The diffraction process of plane waves by a perfectly electric conducting half-screen, residing at a planar junction between two different media, is investigated. The scattered geometrical optics waves are evaluated by subtracting the initial fields from the total geometrical optics waves. The diffracted waves are obtained from the scattered geometrical optics fields by using a relation at the transition boundaries. The diffracted waves are expressed separately for both of the media. The uniform representations of the diffracted fields are obtained by using the uniform theory of diffraction. The scattered fields are analyzed numerically.
