Abstract

The asymptotic form of the diffracted field produced by a plane electromagnetic wave of arbitrary polarization incident obliquely on a conducting half-plane is expressed very simply in terms of the incident and reflected waves $F_{1}$ and $F_{2}$ , respectively, rotated to bring their wave vectors $k_{1}$ and $k_{2}$ on $k$ in the direction of observation. The diffraction coefficients become $\\pm(\\sin \\psi_{i}/2)^{-1}$ where $\\psi_{i}$ is the angle between $k_{i} (i = 1,2)$ and the direction of observation $k$ .
