Abstract
Diffraction of plane electromagnetic waves by a conducting half-plane located in an orthogonal stream of cold plasma is studied. It is assumed that the half-plane has almost no mechanical effect on the particles of the medium. (For example, the half-plane can be a model of a metal grid with fairly small cells.) The general solution of the problem has been obtained by the Wiener-Hopf-Fock technique. The scattering field containing waves of two types is studied analytically and numerically. The behavior of these waves away from the half-plane edge is analyzed. It is shown that the electric field at the edge is finite, and the shadow area is absent under certain conditions.
