Abstract
An iterative surface current density replacement technique is used to formulate the electromagnetic scattering from any perfectly conducting body defined as the intersection of two bodies for which expressions for the scattering are known. The application of the iterative surface current density replacement technique to the truncated wedge results in a secondary edge diffraction coefficient which is accurate for closely spaced edges, and is identical to the secondary diffraction coefficient of the geometrical theory of diffraction when the edges are separated by a distance which is large compared with the wavelength of the field. Results are presented which show the accuracy of this secondary edge diffraction coefficient when applied to the perfectly conducting truncated wedge and narrow strip.
