Abstract :
A particular choice of model of a surface displaying a discontinuity in curvature permits a high-frequency asymptotic development of the surface field when a plane electromagnetic wave is incident. The diffraction coefficients are deduced from this, and the results differ significantly from the physical-optics estimates.
