Kurzbeschreibung
This pioneering book is the first complete description of the modern physical theory of diffraction (PTD), based on the concept of elementary edge waves. The author, recognized as the world's leading authority on PTD, gives readers a solid foundation in the theory and demonstrates a wide range of practical applications. Readers develop the skills to apply PTD to solve various scattering problems. In particular, this theory can be of interest for designers of military stealth weapons and defense systems. When combined with numerical methods, PTD can also be useful for developing efficient hybrid techniques to analyze diffraction on complex radiating and scattering structures.
