Scattering of an Electromagnetic Pulse by a Moving Wedge

The paper is concerned with the analysis of 2-D scattering of an electromagnetic (EM) pulse by a perfectly conducting wedge moving with a relativistic velocity in a free space. The incident signal is described by a Dirac delta function. Analytical solution to this scattering problem is found, and its physical interpretation is given. The field representation, valid for all scatterer velocities, is then simplified to the case of moderate and low velocities, appropriate for practical applications.
