Surface Field and Physical Theory of Diffraction

  • Chapter
Asymptotic Methods in Electromagnetics

Abstract

In Chap. 6, we presented several approaches to deriving integral representations of the diffracted field in the vicinity of the caustics, viz., Maslov’s method in Sect. 6.1; method of integration over a wave front in Sect. 6.2; and, Molinet’s method in Sect. 6.3.
