Diffraction by a perfectly electromagnetic conducting (PEMC) step

Abstract

An analytic theory for the electromagnetic diffraction from a perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) step is developed. By using the duality transformations introduced by Lindell and Sihvola, the diffracted field from a PEMC step has been evaluated. Transformations have been applied to a known problem, the diffracted field by a plane wave from a perfect electric conductor (PEC) step.
