Abstract:
The diffraction of a sinusoidal impulse by an absolutely rigid strip is considered. Approximate formulas are obtained for the field measured at large distances from the strip in the direction of the incident impulse (the case of location). The results are expressed in terms of Fresnel integrals. The possibility of determining the width of the strip and the angle between it and the direction of the incident impulse or the basis of the envelope of the location field is discussed. Graphs of the envelopes for certain specific cases are presented.
