This current eliminates the reflected fields, coming from the first stationary point of the reflection integral and only creates a reflected diffracted field. The incident scattered fields are found from the same integral, written for the perfectly conducting half plane. The scattered fields are evaluated by using the stationary phase method and edge point technique. The evaluated fields are plotted numerically.
