Abstract :
An approximate UTD coefficient has been extended for the junction between two material plates. The present development has been carried out for plate angles greater than 60/spl deg/ on the source side. However, the method can be extended to angles less than 60/spl deg/ in a similar fashion. The source should not be located too close to the surface to avoid surface waves. Reasonable comparisons between this approximate solution and moment method solutions are obtained.
