The scattered waves by a thin finite wire are evaluated by using the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld integral in the Fraunhofer approximation. The scattered fields by the complementary thin wire are also obtained with the aid of the Babinet's principle. The scattering integrals are evaluated directly. It is shown that Babinet's principle holds excellently for this problem. The scattered fields are examined numerically
The diffraction of E-polarized electromagnetic waves by resistive and conductive half planes is studied. The solution of Maliuzhinets for the scattering problem of plane waves from an impedance half-screen is taken into account. The diffracted fields from the resistive and conductive half-planes are obtained by using a relation between the scattered waves from material surfaces. The integrals ofscattering are also constructed in the complex plane. The resultant field expressions are compared with the literature numerically.
