The UAPO Solution for the Plane Wave Diffraction by a Resistive Half Plane: Validation Tests

Abstract

This article deals with the uniform asymptotic physical optics solution for the evaluation of the diffraction contribution related to a resistive half plane. A plane wave is considered at skew incidence with respect to the edge. The reflection and transmission coefficients for both the polarizations are determined accounting for the resistive boundary conditions on the screen and then used in the electric and magnetic equivalent surface currents at the beginning of the approach. The effectiveness of the proposed solution is here tested with the aid of a full-wave commercial software.
