  • Abstract
    The diffraction coefficients used in Keller´s geometrical theory of diffraction are extended to the near field and shadow boundary regions of the edge. Two correction factors are introduced for the amplitude and phase terms of these coefficients and are calculated by comparison with the exact solution. The attractive features of these correction factors are briefly discussed, and their importance in solving near-field transmission problems between horns and double wedges is mentioned.
