Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves by an Impedance Sheet Junction in Anisotropic Plasma

Abstract

The diffraction of electromagnetic plane waves by the edge discontinuity of an impedance sheet junction, which is located in an anisotropic plasma, is investigated. The problem is solved by the integral theory of diffraction. The scattering integral is obtained from the scattered geometric optics wave. The diffracted fields are derived by the edge point evaluation of the scattering integral. The evaluated field expressions are analyzed numerically.
