Diffraction field by a wide and thick slit on a conducting screen has been analyzed. High frequency ray-mode coupling analysis has been utilized, and the total diffracted or radiated field in each region is considered as a summation of successive modal radiation contribution due to the original modal excitation by the incident plane wave. Our derived results are compared with those obtained by other solutions, and good agreement has been observed, and the validity of our formulation is confirmed.

Electromagnetic plane wave scattering by a wide trough on the ground has been analyzed by high frequency asymptotic techniques based on Geometrical Theory of Diffraction. Field in the trough region has been formulated in terms of parallel plane waveguide modes, whose excitation (coupling) coefficients are obtained by ray-mode conversion techniques. Numerical calculation has been done extensively and thus obtained results are then compared with those by other methods. Good agreements have been observed except for oblique incidence case. It is found that first and secondary modal re-radiation fields from the indented trough region play an important role for scattering far field, and primary edge diffracted field contributes mainly to reflection boundary direction.
