Abstract :
For the problem of physical optics scattering by a perfectly conducting plate of finite dimensions and arbitrary shape, attention is drawn to the fact that the directions in which the far-field average power is maximized can be easily determined for 
-polarization, while the same is not true for 
-polarization. Moreover, it is shown by means of an example that the directions of maximization for -polarization are not necessarily those for -polarization.
