Oblique scattering by a pair of conducting half planes: TM case

Abstract

An exact series solution for the oblique scattering by a pair of infinitely long parallel edges of perfectly conducting half planes is formulated for a TM plane wave using the mode-matching technique (MMT). The scattered and guided fields are represented in terms of an infinite series of radial waveguide modes. By applying the appropriate boundary conditions, the coefficients of the scattered field are obtained. The diffraction coefficient of double edges is subsequently derived from the scattered field.
