Explore how plane waves bend and diffract around a wedge and what that means for real-world weather and radar signals. This work presents a clear, step‑by‑step treatment of diffraction by a dielectric wedge and its practical application to radio propagation through a cold front. It blends geometrical optics with full wave solutions, showing how different polarizations behave and how cylindrical diffracted waves emerge from the problem. The discussion grounds theory in realistic assumptions, making the results usable for engineers and physicists working with atmospheric or radar scenarios.
The text develops the two‑dimensional reduction, lays out the geometrical solution, and then derives the complete field by considering reflected, refracted, and diffracted components. It explains how the barrier lines and region boundaries shape the observed wave patterns and how the transition from plane to cylindrical waves occurs in detail. The final portion connects the diffraction theory to atmospheric propagation, offering practical guidance for analyzing signals affected by cold fronts.
Ideal for readers of advanced electromagnetics, wave propagation, and atmospheric radio studies who want both the theory and its weather‑related applications.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive study of diffraction by a dielectric wedge, with applications to propagation through a cold front. The author uses Maxwell's equations and approximate methods of calculation to obtain the fields yielded by geometrical optics and the modifications on them produced by diffraction. These results are expressed as combinations of waves traveling in the proper directions, and the amplitudes of these waves have been found to first order in the difference in the propagation constants of the media. The author also discusses the transition of the field across the barrier lines. The book provides a valuable resource for researchers and students in the fields of electromagnetism, optics, and atmospheric physics. It offers a thorough understanding of the fundamental principles and applications of diffraction theory to the propagation of electromagnetic waves through dielectric media.
