Abstract
A hybrid UTD-MM technique which combines the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction (UTD) and the method of moments (MM) is employed to analyze efficiently the problem of electromagnetic diffraction of transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves by a perfectly conducting semicircular cylinder. An analysis of this problem is useful for understanding the coupling between the mechanisms of edge and convex surface diffraction. The accuracy of the numerical results for the far-zone fields based on this solution is established by comparison with an independent formally exact MM solution.Keywords
