Abstract

Diffraction of a plane wave from a geometry which contains an infinite slit in a perfect electric conducting (PEC) plane and a perfectly electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) cylinder is presented. The method is based on the extension of Clemmow, Karp and Russek solution for the diffraction by a wide slit. The results are compared with the published work and agreement is fairly good.
