According to the idea introduced in Section 9.2, the waves diffracted at edge L are
found by the differentiation of Equations (8.3), (8.4) with the simultaneous replacement of uinc(ζ ) = u0(ζ ) exp[ikφi(ζ )] by the quantity (9.53). As a result, the edge
waves generated by the nonuniform/fringe scattering sources ( js,h(1)) are determined as

where the stationary point ζst is calculated according to Equation (8.7) and the caustic parameter ρ = ρ(ζst ) is defined in Equation (8.23).
In view of Equation (9.54), the fields arising due to the slope diffraction are less in magnitude by a small factor 1/kRQ compared to the ordinary diffracted fields (8.12), (8.13) and (8.29).
Notice that the integral representations (9.55), (9.56), (9.57), and (9.58) allow the calculation of the slope diffracted field in the vicinity of caustics and foci.
9.4.2Electromagnetic Waves
Let us define an incident electromagnetic wave as |
|
Einc = E0i eikRQ , |
Hinc = H0i eikRQ , |
(9.61) |
where |
|
|
E0i = Z0[H0i |
× RQ]. |
(9.62) |

Suppose that in the direction to the scattering edge L, the quantities E0, H0 have zeros, but their first normal derivatives are not equal to zero:

= 0, H0i = 0 |

which are the derivatives of the ordinary plane wave with respect to the incidence angle ϕ0. The amplitudes of the equivalent wave are found with the requirement that

9.1Use the asymptotic expression (9.10) for the grazing diffraction of acoustic waves, apply the stationary-phase technique, and confirm the ray approximation (9.11).
9.2Use the asymptotic expressions (9.19), (9.20) for the grazing diffraction of electromagnetic waves, apply the stationary-phase technique, and confirm the ray approximations (9.23), (9.25). Compare Equation (9.25) with Equation (9.11) and establish the equivalence relationship between acoustic and electromagnetic diffracted rays.
9.3Use the asymptotic expressions (9.36), (9.37) for the slope diffraction of acoustic waves, apply the stationary-phase technique, and confirm the ray approximations (9.38), (9.39).
9.4Use the asymptotic expressions (9.43), (9.44) for the slope diffraction of electromagnetic waves, apply the stationary-phase technique, and confirm the ray approximations (9.45), (9.46) and (9.47). Compare Equation (9.47) with Equation (9.39), and establish the equivalence relationship between acoustic and electromagnetic diffracted rays.

Diffraction Interaction of Neighboring Edges on
a Ruled Surface
The following relationships exist between acoustic and electromagnetic diffracted waves in the directions belonging to the diffraction cone:
|

∂n |
Here, ˆt(nˆ ) is the tangent (normal) to the edge at the diffraction point ζ . These relationships, together with Equations (7.149) and (7.150), allow one to determine all components of the electromagnetic diffracted wave.
Consider a diffraction interaction of two edges with a common face. If this face is bent, the edge wave already undergoes diffraction on its way along the face to another edge. This problem is not amenable to theoretical treatment in a general case. However, the disturbing effect of the face can be neglected in the particular case illustrated in Figure 10.1. The common face S of edges L1 and L is a ruled surface whose generatrices coincide with the edge-diffracted rays arising at the edge L1 and propagating to the edge L. It is assumed that a plane tangential to the face does not change its orientation along the generatrix. Notice that a planar facet can be considered as a limiting case of a ruled surface. Therefore, the theory developed in the following is applicable in this case as well.
The present section is based on the papers by Ufimtsev (1989, 1991).
