Abstract
The electromagnetic consequences of placing a dielectric coating at the edge of a conducting plane are discussed. An empirically based coating design strategy is formulated that uses asymptotic RCS data and surface wave attenuation data to determine those properties of the coating that will effect a reduction in monostatic RCS at obtuse incidence angles and H-polarisation (magnetic field polarised parallel to the edge).
