This monograph categorizes and summarizes the work of P. Y. Ufimtsev, and is mainly connected with research on edge diffracted waves. This research stemmed from practical considerations and focused on the development of approximate methods to calculate the scattering of electromagnetic waves from real objects. The Lockheed F 117 Stealth Fighter and the Northrop B 2 Stealth Bomber play key roles in today s United States Air Force. These were the first two major aircraft designs to employ the principles of Pyotr Ufimtsev s Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD). Ben Rich, who oversaw the F 117 project as head of Lockheed s fabled Skunk Works, refers to Professor Ufimtsev s work as the Rosetta Stone breakthrough for stealth technology. At Northrop, where I worked on the B 2 project, we were so enthusiastic about PTD that a co-worker and I sometimes broke into choruses of Go Ufimtsev to the tune of On, Wisconsin. And so today the rather abstract physics and mathematics developed by this charming and unassuming old-world gentleman are influencing military strategy and tactics and thus helping shape history - not just through the F 117 and the B 2, but through the many military systems of many kinds that now incorporate stealth technology based on PTD. From the Foreword , by Kenneth M. Mitzner.

This book is the first complete and comprehensive description of the modern Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD) based on the concept of elementary edge waves (EEWs). The theory is demonstrated with the example of the diffraction of acoustic and electromagnetic waves at perfectly reflecting objects. The derived analytic expressions clearly explain the physical structure of the scattered field and describe in detail all of the reflected and diffracted rays and beams, as well as the fields in the vicinity of caustics and foci. Shadow radiation, a new fundamental component of the field, is introduced and proven to contain half of the total scattered power.

The book is a complete, comprehensive description of the modern Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD) based upon the concept of elementary edge waves. The theory is demonstrated with examples of the diffraction of acoustic and electromagnetic waves at perfectly reflecting objects. Readers develop the skills to apply PTD to solve various scattering problems. The derived analytic expressions clearly illustrate the physical structure of the scattered field. They additionally describe all of the reflected and diffracted rays and beams, as well as the fields in the vicinity of caustics and foci. Shadow radiation, a fundamental component of PTD, is introduced and proven to contain half the total scattered power. The equivalence relationships between acoustic and electromagnetic diffracted waves are established and emphasized. Throughout the book, the author enables readers to master both the theory and its practical applications. * Plotted numeric results supplement the theory and facilitate the visualization of individual contributions of distinct parts of the scattering objects to the total diffracted field * Detailed comments help readers understand and implement all the critical steps of the analytic and numeric calculations * Problem sets in each chapter give readers an opportunity to analyse and investigate the diffraction phenomena
