Plane wave diffraction by strip with an integral boundary condition

In this article, a new solution method is proposed for plane wave diffraction by a strip. On the surface of the strip, an integral boundary condition is used. The impedance of the strip is investigated. The theoretical and numerical analyses show that there is a relation between the complex-valued fractional order of the integral boundary condition and properties of the material such as the impedance. As a further study, the total radar cross-section is investigated using the proposed method.
