Wave Diffraction by an Impedance Wedge

Abstract

A new diffraction field expression is proposed for a wedge with different face impedances. The modified theory of physical optics based diffraction coefficient is taken into account. The reflection coefficients are expressed in terms of the split functions that occur in the double integral solution of the resistive half-plane problem. The effects of wedge's each faces are represented separately. The uniform field expression is obtained and compared with the literature for a right-angled impedance wedge numerically.
