A Generalized Technique in the Solutions of Some Diffraction Problems Concerning Dielectric Wedges

Abstract

A modified technique in dealing with the generalized Wiener-Hopf equations is presented. The basic procedure is to apply the topological concept, by which a transform equation is reduced without performing product factorization to a set of matrix equations. Moreover, the theory of distribution is applied to simplify the problem formulation. A new theorem concerning additive decomposition is deduced and used to verify the authenticity of the method are discussed. In this paper an example, diffraction of a plane wave by a right-angled dielectric wedge, is included to illustrate the application of the method.
