UNIFORM ANALYTIC SCATTERED FIELDS OF A PEC PLATE ILLUMINATED BY A VECTOR PARAXIAL GAUSSIAN BEAM

A uniform asymptotic expression is developed for calculating the fields scattered by a perfect electrically conducting plate illuminated by a vectorial gaussian beam. This expression has been obtained under the physical optics approximation using the saddle point method. Some numerical applications are presented and compared with some reference methods such as a MoM. A brief parameter study of this solution is presented.
