Abstract
The concept of Spectral Theory of Diffraction [STD] was introduced by Mittra and his collaborators [MR] in the 1970s to circumvent some of the problems encountered with the GTD. The basic strategy followed in STD is to represent a complex field, which is not a ray field, in terms of a superposition of plane waves. Such fields are often encountered in diffraction problems.
