Abstract

The scattering process of plane waves by a discontinuous edge contour is studied with the three dimensional boundary diffraction wave theory. The edge and corner diffracted fields are obtained from the stationary phase and edge point evaluations of the line integral. A new corner diffraction coefficient is derived. The behaviors of the uniform edge and corner diffracted waves are investigated numerically.
