A Time-Domain Uniform Asymptotic Theory Applied to the Analysis of Pulse-Excited PEC Wedges

In this letter, a time-domain version of the uniform asymptotic theory of diffraction, henceforth named TD-UAT, is introduced and is employed to obtain the fields scattered by a perfectly electrically conducting wedge illuminated by an arbitrarily oriented electric dipole. The results of TD-UAT are compared to those obtained from an implementation of the time-domain uniform theory of diffraction (TD-UTD), and its applicability is demonstrated.
