Analytical regularization method for rigorous diffraction analysis of knife edges for tm waves

Abstract

A direct full-wave solution via the Analytical Regularization Method (ARM) is proposed for the diffraction problem concerning knife edges under TM wave excitation. This problem is reduced to solving an infinite linear algebraic equation system of the second kind which, in principle, can be solved with arbitrary predetermined accuracy via a truncation procedure. © Association for Scientific Research. © 2011 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
