A Time Domain Incremental Theory of Diffraction: Scattering of Electromagnetic Pulsed Plane Waves - Abstract

A new formulation of a time domain incremental theory is introduced. This approach is applied to the scattering of a pulsed plane wave incident on a circular disk. It is shown that the scattered field is free from singularities at caustics and exhibits a notable wave structure outside Keller's cone.
