Description:Excerpt from Diffraction of a Plane Wave by an Unidirectionally Conducting Half-Plane In a recent paper, Toraldo di Francia has given an approximate solution for the diffraction of a plane wave by a small circular disc composed of fine parallel wires. He idealized such a screen as an infinitely thin disc which is perfectly conducting in one direction; the reformulation led to a boundary value problem which was, in turn, solved approximately. During a visit to New York Univeristy, the above author suggested to us the problem of determining an exact solution of the correspondingly formulated problem for a half plane. The present paper is devoted to the determination of such an exact solution. The existence of a solution supports the validity of the idealization employed by Toraldo di Francia. It is anticipated that our solution will also prove useful in constructing approximate solutions for the diffraction by large perfectly conducting screens. In Section 2 we present the mathematical formulation of the boundary value problem. In Section 3 we reduce the problem to the determination of a single scalar wave function. This wave function is then obtained explicitly (Section 4) in terms of functions associated with the diffraction by a perfectly conducting half plane. A simplified far field representation is obtained in Section 5, while Section 6 is devoted to compilation of the results and to brief concluding remarks.
