A reflection coefficient which is the function of the angular and spatial variables in the polar coordinates is defined and its exact expression is obtained with the aid of the impedance boundary condition. The resultant diffraction field is compared with the solution of Malyuzhinets numerically and their differences are stressed. The structures of the total scattered, geometrical optics and diffracted waves are also investigated. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
