Scattering of Waves by a Perfect Electric Conductor Half-Screen in an Anisotropic Medium

Abstract

The scattering process of electromagnetic plane waves by a perfect electric conductor half-plane, in an anisotropic medium, is studied. The technique, used for the solution of the problem, is the method of transition boundary. The values of an unknown function, which constructs the diffracted wave, are found at the reflection and shadow boundaries. The function is determined by applying a factorization process with the reciprocity principle. A new diffraction field is derived by the mentioned method. Some numerical results are given.
