Abstract
The diffraction by a finite parallel-plate waveguide with four-layer material loading is rigorously analyzed by means of the Wiener-Hopf technique for the H-polarized plane wave incidence. Taking the Fourier transform for the unknown scattered field as well as the Helmholtz equation and applying boundary conditions in the transform domain, the problem is formulated in terms of the simultaneous Wiener-Hopf equations. The Wiener-Hopf equations are solved via the factorization and decomposition procedure together with the use of rigorous approximation procedures leading to an efficient approximation solution. The scattered field in the real space is evaluated explicitly by taking the inverse Fourier transform. Illustrative numerical examples on the radar cross section (RCS) are presented and the far field scattering characteristics of the waveguide are discussed.
