The Double PEC Wedge Problem: Diffraction and Total Far Field

Complex scattering targets are often made by structures constituted of wedges that may interact at near field. In this paper, we examine the scattering of a plane electromagnetic wave by two separated arbitrarily oriented perfectly electrically conducting wedges with parallel axes. The procedure to obtain the solution is based on the recently developed semianalytical method known as generalized Wiener–Hopf technique that allows a comprehensive mathematical model of the problem in the spectral domain avoiding multiple steps of interaction among separated objects. The numerical results are presented to validate the procedure in terms of spectral quantities, GTD/uniform theory of diffraction coefficients and total far fields for engineering applications. The structure is of interest in electromagnetic applications, in particular, to accurately predict path loss in propagation with diffraction phenomena.
