Abstract
The problem solved previously by Jull (1964) for a perfectly conducting half-plane is extended to the case of an impedance half-plane. As assumed by Jull, the direction of the incident wave is normal to both the magnetostatic field and the diffracting edge. The plasma is characterized by a permittivity tensor; and only the TM incident field is considered, as the anisotropy does not affect an incident TE wave. The impedance boundary condition is found to introduce unidirectional surface waves propagating at some angle into or away from the surface, as well as the usual radiated far fields.Keywords
