Abstract
The time-scattering of an electromagnetic wave by a wedge-shaped region in a lossy medium, both with frequency dependent electric characteristics, is analyzed for plane wave and line source illuminations. New exact analytical expressions, satisfying explicitely the causality and allowing useful physical decompositions of the field, are obtained in these cases, using the particularities of the harmonic response in Sommerfeld-Maliuzhinets integral, especially original properties of the spectral function attached to it.
Résumé
La diffraction en régime non stationnaire d’une onde électromagnétique par un secteur dièdre dans un milieu à pertes, tous deux de caractéristiques électriques dispersives, est analysée pour des ondes incidentes plane et cylindrique (ligne source). Dans ces cas, on obtient des expressions analytiques exactes, satisfaisant explicitement la causalité et permettant d’intéressantes décompositions du champ, en utilisant certaines particularités de la représentation du champ en intégrale de Sommerfeld-Maliuzhinets en régime harmonique, particulièrement des propriétés originales de la fonction spectrale qui y est attachée.
