Riley, D J; Bacon, L D

A simple technique is presented for modifying electromagnetic aperture-coupling integral equations that are based on an infinite-ground-plane assumption, to partially account for excitation modifications which result from plane-wave interaction with a side of an actual three-dimensional scatterer. The technique is based on incorporating the solution for a conducting wedge into the integral equations. Results are presented for coupling to coaxial connectors which are more consistent with experimental observations. 5 refs., 13 figs.
