✦ Synopsis

A rigorous formulation is suggested for sol¨ing the scattering of plane wa¨es by a composite wedge of metal and lossless dielectric. This employs the Kirchhoff integral in the physical regions and the extinction theorem in their mathematical complementary regions to make the correction of the primary approximated solutions. Calculated total field patterns scattered by the composite wedge gi¨e close results to the rigorous asymptotic field for the limits of the dielectric wedge becoming conducting or background free space.
