Abstract:
Scattering of an inhomogeneous plane wave with an arbitrary angle of incidence travelling through a slit made of perfectly electric conducting and impedance half planes is investigated. For the investigation of the scattering phenomena evaluation of the modified theory of physical optics integrals are evaluated asymptotically. An inhomogeneous plane wave is taken into consideration by assuming the incident angle of a homogeneous plane wave as a complex parameter. Uniform asymptotic results will be employed for the correct solution of an incoming inhomogeneous plane wave scattering problem. Asymptotic evaluation is carried out for the reflected and diffracted fields. Diffracted fields are uniformly expressed in terms of the Fresnel functions. To obtain correct plots of the diffracted fields, complex detour parameter decomposition method is applied. Obtained resultant fields are plotted numerically.
