Abstract :
A novel strip representation for the analysis of plane wave scattering from a flat plate is proposed. This representation is capable of covering all directions of the observer without producing any false shadow/reflection boundaries. The orientation of the edge depends on the direction of both incidence and observation and is determined so that a Keller (1962) cone for any edge segment may include the observer. An accuracy check of the proposed method is performed for plane wave diffraction from a large circular disk. Good agreement with the exact solution is demonstrated for arbitrary directions of the observer.<>
