Abstract: | A second order diffraction coefficient for the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD) is obtained explicitly for two knife edges in terms of the usual complex transition function (a modified Fresnel integral). The results from conventional GTD (zero order), slope diffraction GTD (first order), and second order GTD are compared with those obtained from physical optics (PO), which uses the complex Fresnel double integral. The results from second order GTD are close to those from PO in most of the cases studied |
