  • Abstract
    Based on the geometrical theory of diffraction, equivalent filamentary currents are derived for a linear element of a surface singularity for general incidence and polarization. The currents are used to obtain an analytical expression for the bistatic field diffracted by a ring singularity, valid within the caustic region as well as at wide angles.
