THE DYADIC DIFFRACTION COEFFICIENT FOR A PERFECTLY CONDUCTING WEDGE

Abstract

A ray-fixed coordinate system is introduced and used to derive a new, compact form of the dyadic diffraction coefficient for an electromagnetic wave incident on a perfectly-conducting wedge. This diffraction coefficient is merely the sum of two dyads; furthermore, with the use of simple correction factors which have the same form for plane, cylindrical, conical or spherical waves incident on the edge, the dyadic diffraction coefficient is valid in the transition regions of the shadow and reflection boundaries.
