Abstract
The electromagnetic scattering of an arbitrarily polarized plane wave obliquely impinging on the edge of anisotropic impedance half-planes and planar junctions featuring inclined anisotropy axes is analyzed. Exact spectral representations for the total field are derived when the wedge faces are characterized by a set of specific homogeneous anisotropic impedance boundary conditions exhibiting an impedance matrix with no vanishing diagonal terms, as implied by the arbitrary orientation of the principal anisotropy axes with respect to the edge. The proposed solutions, which extend previous formulations valid for direction of the anisotropy axes either parallel or perpendicular to the edge, are derived by resorting to the Sommerfeld–Maliuzhinets method and exploiting the properties of the special function χΦ, originally introduced in the study of the scattering from wedges in gyroelectric media. Explicit uniform asymptotic expressions for the fields are provided along with samples of numerical results proving their validity.
