A novel approach for estimating the high‐frequency field scattered by a convex conducting cylinder is proposed. The theory is based on the locality property of short‐wave scattering and considers the curvature of the target and the shadow‐side currents. The approach is more accurate than the physical optics (PO) approximation and requires PO‐comparable computational costs. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
