Abstract
The first two terms of Kline's asymptotic expansion are obtained for the scattering of a plane wave incident along the axis of a perfectly reflecting semi‐infinite body of revolution. When this method is applied to the paraboloid the exact electromagnetic solution is obtained in closed form. The accuracy of the method of physical optics is studied by using the asymptotic expansion.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
