The scattering of electromagnetic waves by two opposite staggered perfectly electrically conducting half-planes

Abstract

In this paper we examine the scattering of a plane electromagnetic wave by two opposite staggered perfectly electrically conducting (PEC) half-planes immersed in free space by using the Wiener–Hopf technique in the spectral domain. The procedure to obtain the solution is based on the reduction of the factorization problem of matrix Wiener–Hopf equations to Fredholm integral equations of second kind (Fredholm factorization). The structure is of interest in antenna technologies, electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic shielding in particular for the computation of the transmitted field.
