Abstract :
An asymptotic solution is presented for the diffraction by a resistive strip which is useful in the simulation of thin dielectric layers. Numerical data are presented to illustrate the scattering properties of lossless and lossy dielectric strips as a function of the angle of observation and the width of the strip
