The contribution focuses on the accuracy of two asymptotic solutions aimed at representing the electromagnetic field scattered by penetrable wedges. One is a heuristic manipulation of the solution for the perfect electrical conductor, and the other one is a more rigorous coefficient based on approximate boundary conditions. The results presented here extend those proposed by other authors by illustrating the accuracy of such solutions at the edge of validity of the uniform theory of diffraction. In particular, they show that the heuristic formulation can be freely applied in similar conditions, while the other might not always lead to accurate predictions.

This paper presents the design of all dielectric non-absorptive phase gradient reflective surfaces that can be used to manipulate the reflected electromagnetic waves at millimeter-wave regime. Compared with a bare perfect electrical conductor reflector which obeys the classical Snell's law of reflection, the presented design can effectively alter both the shape and level of the backscattered energy and thus radar cross section (RCS) reduction is achieved in the specular direction. One- and two-dimensional phase gradient reflective dielectric surfaces of phase change about 72° across their apertures are designed and their ability to manipulate the reflected waves under normal incidence are investigated both by means of full-wave simulations and experimentally tested for validation. More than 6 dB of specular RCS reduction is achieved from about 66.5–78.2 GHz.

An attempt has been made to discuss the Helmholtz instability of a viscous compressible plasma considered to be a perfect electrical conductor. Initially, the plasma is assumed to be in contact with a uniform magnetic field along a plane boundary that is parallel to the field and is assumed to flow with uniform velocity V0 perpendicular to the field. By using the normal mode technique, the amplitudes of the perturbed quantities are obtained. The conditions for the validity of the principle of exchange of stability and overstability are obtained also. Finally, the growth-rate curves for different values of the viscosity parameter λ′ have been drawn and it has been found that the effect of viscosity adds to the stability of the system.
