Electromagnetic Wave Scattering By a Perfectly Conducting Wedge in Uniform Translational Motion

Abstract

The exact relativistic solution to the problem of electromagnetic wave scattering by a perfectly conducting wedge in uniform translational motion is obtained on the ground of the Frame Hopping Method; a field representation in terms of plane-wave spectra allows us to apply Special Relativity covariance relations in terms of simple alteration rules for the wave parameters of the spectral components. Numerical simulations based on the analytic evaluation of Doppler frequency spectra, as measured by a fixed observer, are presented.
