Abstract
A new method, which enables one to solve some diffraction problems, is put forth. The technique is based on a relation between the diffracted and scattered geometric optics waves at the transition boundaries. The concept of initial waves is also used instead of the incident field. The general algorithm of the method is outlined and applied to the diffraction problems of waves by perfect electric conductor half-screen, resistive half-plane and impedance sheet junction.
