Abstract

The scattering of an electromagnetic time-dependent plane wave by the edge of an impedance wedge is analyzed. Suitable expressions are presented for the surface currents which are induced on the two faces of the wedge. Numerical results are shown for different electrical and geometrical configurations and compared with data available in the literature for the case of a perfectly conducting wedge
