Diffraction of Line Source Field by a Resistive Half-Plane Between Isorefractive Media

Abstract

The scattering process of cylindrical waves by a resistive half-plane, residing at the interface of isorefractive media, is investigated. The uniform expression of the diffracted cylindrical waves by a resistive half-screen is obtained for a single medium. Then the initial fields are found for an interface between isorefractive media. The scattered geometrical optics waves are derived by subtracting the initial fields from the total geometrical optics waves when the resistive half-plane exists at the interface. The diffracted fields are determined by using the scattered geometrical optics waves. The behavior of the resultant waves is analyzed numerically.
