Abstract
The problem of scattering of a plane electromagnetic wave by a perfectly conducting dihedral wedge with a slotted cylinder at the apex in rigorous formulation is reduced to solving a system of linear algebraic equations for unknown coefficients of the Fourier expansion of the scattered field. The results of calculation of the far-zone field with a given accuracy are presented in the case of an E-polarized incident wave. It is shown that for a slot with a large opening angle, the radiation patterns of the field in the long-wavelength far zone has a shape similar to a cardioid and does not depend on the incident-wave direction and the dielectric permittivity of the cylinder. In the case of a narrow slot, the radiation-pattern shape depends significantly on the incidence angle of the wave.
