Abstract
A slender approximation for 2-D perturbations about an infinite conducting ground plane is derived and shown to lead to extremely simple final formulas for scattering width, certainly simple enough for design (inverse) analysis and optimization. The theory has been used extensively as part of code validation studies. Comparison with nonslender methods shows that the slender theory is surprisingly accurate and very robust
