Abstract

In this study, plane wave diffraction by a perfect electromagnetic wedge which is lying between isorefractive media is investigated. The diffracted waves are constructed by using the relation between initial geometric optics waves and scattered waves at the transition boundaries. The uniform theory of diffraction method is used for derivation of the uniform wave expressions. Thus, obtained uniform expressions are analyzed numerically for different set of parameters.
