In this article the numerical method for extracting diffraction coefficients of wedge structures is extended to calculate diffraction coefficients of wedges with the corrugated surfaces for which no closedform expressions exist. Extensi¨e numerical results are gi¨en, and they may be useful in design

Abstract
The derivation of the body‐of‐revolution finite‐difference–time‐domain (BOR‐FDTD) technique is presented and used to determine the return loss and radiation patterns of a corrugated horn. The perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary conditions are used for the computation. The source excitation is a sine‐modulated Gaussian pulse, spatially weighted with the cylindrical TE~11~ mode fields. The results for the return loss and radiation patterns are compared with those obtained using a commercial package based on a mode‐ matching/method‐of‐moments technique. The results show excellent agreement. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 33: 452–457, 2002; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).
