Abstract

In [1], Hacivelioglu and co-authors criticize my paper, named ``Fringe waves in an impedance half-plane" [2]. Unfortunately, the general scenario of the criticisms is based on misconceptions and lack of basic knowledge in the diffraction theory. Below we give our detailed rebuttals on their comments.
