Abstract :
The diffraction of a plane wave at skew incidence by an arbitrary-angled concave wedge with anisotropic impedance faces is studied. Concave wedges are of interest in wireless propagation models, in particular on modeling buildings and reflectors. The solution is obtained via the generalized Wiener-Hopf technique for arbitrary impedance wedges using a numerical-analytical approach. The numerical results show the spectral properties of the fields, GTD/UTD diffraction coefficients, and total fields.
