Extract
In a recent communication ((5)), Skal'skaya has considered the interesting two-dimensional problem of the diffraction of a plane E-polarized electromagnetic wave by two perfectly conducting half-planes, inclined with respect to each other. For simplicity, a symmetric case was studied; thus the current densities on the two half-planes were identical, and it was necessary to determine only one function. By expressing the scattered field in terms of the induced current density, and by imposing the (Dirichlet) boundary condition satisfied on the half-planes, Skal'skaya derived an integral equation of the first kind for the unknown density. This was transformed into an equation of the second kind (a more suitable starting point for iterative procedures) by an application of the Kontorovich–Lebedev integral transform. The free term in the new equation was the solution for an isolated half-plane and, by iteration, an approximate solution was obtained.
