Abstract :
The asymptotic form of the diffracted field produced by a plane electromagnetic wave of arbitrary polarization incident obliquely on a conducting half-plane is expressed very simply in terms of the incident and reflected waves 
and 
, respectively, rotated to bring their wave vectors 
and 
on 
in the direction of observation. The diffraction coefficients become 
where 
is the angle between 
and the direction of observation .
