Beam Diffraction by a Conductive Half Plane

Abstract

In this paper scattering and diffraction of Gaussian beam by a conductive half-plane is studied. To generate Gaussian beam complex point source method is used. To evaluate geometrical optics and diffracted fields far-field approximation is used. Obtained diffracted and scattered fields plotted and examined numerically by the help of MATLAB.
