Abstract :
A uniform diffraction solution is given for an electromagnetic wave incident on perfectly conducting surface having a discontinuity in curvature. The solution is derived from an asymptotic evaluation of the physical-optics integral, and correction factors are deduced to retrieve the rigorous nonuniform result away from the reflection boundary.
