PO and PTD approach to the diffraction problem by a resistive half-plane

Abstract

Diffracted fields from a resistive half-plane were investigated by the method of physical optics (PO) and the physical theory of diffraction. The coefficient of the PO scattering integral was derived for the first time for the resistive half-plane. Uniform fringe field expressions were obtained in terms of the Fresnel functions. The resultant expressions of the fringe fields were plotted and analyzed numerically.
