Spherical Wave Diffraction by a Slit in an Impedance Screen

Abstract

An exact solution is developed for the problem of diffraction of an E-polarized and an H-polarized spherical waves by a slit in an impedance screen. This consideration is important in the sense that point sources are regarded as better substitutes for real sources than line sources/plane waves. The two independent problems are solved using the Fourier transform, the Wiener-Hopf technique and asymptotic approximations.
