Soft polarization diffraction coefficient for a conducting cylinder-tipped wedge

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

TMz electromagnetic scattering from a perfectly conducting wedge with a cylindrical tip is formulated using a mode-matching technique. The eigenmode expansion is then written in a convenient form, where the total field is expressed as a superposition of a wedge-diffraction term based on the uniform theory of diffraction, a geometrical optics term, and a Correction Field term due to the presence of the cylindrical tip. The obtained diffraction coefficient can be easily incorporated into existing ray-tracing, high-frequency codes for the prediction of scattered fields from electrically large structures. The underlined formulation and obtained expressions are verified by comparing numerical results with the finite element method.
