Abstract

We have seen in Chap. 2, how a formal series representation, which is more general than the Luneberg-Kline series, can be used to describe the propagation of the diffracted rays. We have also seen that the formal series provides a description of the field only in regions where it is a ray field, and in the present chapter we will concern ourselves with the calculation of the field in the boundary layers.
