Abstract

The diffraction of plane electromagnetic waves by the configuration formed by a slit in a perfectly conducting plane and a parallel complementary strip is investigated. The related boundary-value problem is formulated into a modified matrix Wiener-Hopf equation. The factorization of the kernel matrix is accomplished through Abrahams' method and the modified matrix Wiener-Hopf equation is first reduced to a pair of coupled Fredholm integral equations of the second kind and then solved by iterations. Several numerical results illustrating the effects of various parameters such as the spacing between the slit and the strip and their width on the diffraction phenomena are presented.
