A note on plane wave diffraction by a perfectly conducting strip in a homogeneous bi-isotropic medium

Abstract

We studied the problem of diffraction of an electromagnetic plane wave by a perfectly conducting finite strip in a homogeneous bi-isotropic medium and obtained some improved results which were presented both mathematically and graphically. The problem was solved by using the Wiener-Hopf technique and Fourier transform. The scattered field in the far zone was determined by the method of steepest decent. The significance of present analysis was that it recovered the results when a strip was widened into a half plane.
