Abstract :
Scattering mechanisms that involve edge waves are addressed. The behavior of edge waves and their interaction with flat perfectly conducting plates are depicted in the time domain through a visualization of surface currents that flow on the surface, as an incident Gaussian pulse of energy washes over the surface. Viewing these surface currents allows a very clear physical interpretation and appreciation of the scattering process.<>
