The Scattering by Two Inverted Staggered PEC Half-Planes Loaded by a Dielectric Layer

The scattering of a plane electromagnetic wave by two inverted perfectly electrically conducting (PEC) half-planes loaded by a dielectric layer is studied by using the Wiener-Hopf technique in the spectral domain. The procedure to obtain the solution is based on the reduction of the factorization problem to Fredholm integral equations of second kind. The structure is of interest in antenna technologies, electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic shielding. The study of structural singularities allows also the estimation of surface waves and leaky waves for practical engineering applications.
