Abstract

In this Letter, both uniform GTD and incremental diffraction coefficients at edge discontinuities in artificially soft and hard surfaces are obtained from the exact solution of the relevant canonical wedge configuration. Numerical results are presented for a dipole on the axis of an artificially soft disk.
