Abstract

A study is made of the waves generated by a magnetic line source placed at the vertex of a wedge of high conductivity and arbitrary angle. The boundary-value problem is reduced to the solution of a difference equation and an exact solution obtained. The method is also applied to the case of dielectric coated wedges where the surface reactance and resistance are arbitrary, and the propagation of surface waves along such surfaces is considered briefly. The forms of the solution for large and small values of the surface impedance are obtained and show complete agreement with the known results available for a right-angled wedge and a plane.
