TM scattering by a wedge with concaved edge

Abstract

TM scattering problem by a perfectly conducting wedge with concaved edge is formulated for a line source excitation using the mode-matching technique. The scattered and guided fields are represented in terms of an infinite series of radial waveguide modes with unknown coefficients. By applying the appropriate boundary conditions, the coefficients of scattered field are obtained. For small ka, the diffraction coefficient of concaved edge is derived from the scattered field.
