Abstract :
The aim of this work is to propose a useful method for predicting the scattering by a penetrable wedge when a linearly polarized plane wave is orthogonally incident on it. The wedge is here treated as a junction of two nonmagnetic lossy dielectric slabs. The proposed approach is based on the extension of the Burnside and Burgener´s method to determine the geometrical optics response of the structure and on the construction of the corresponding Uniform Asymptotic Physical Optics solution for predicting the diffraction contribution. Planar and right-angle junctions of lossy layers are here considered as canonical structures usually present in automotive radio propagation scenarios.
