Abstract
In this paper the problem of the far field radiation of an infinite aperture occupying one side of an infinite conducting wedge is solved. For uniform illuminations as well as for illuminations tapered to zero at the edges, it is shown that the radiated field can be effectively represented by line sources situated along the edge of the wedge. Also, for the special case of illuminations which taper to zero at the edges within a few wavelengths, it is shown that the shadow region radiation is proportional to the rate of taper.
