Abstract

In this paper, we revisit Radlow's innovative approach to diffraction by a penetra ble wedge by means of a double Wiener-Hopf technique. We provide a constructive way of obtaining his ansatz and give yet another reason for why his ansatz cannot be the true solution to the diffraction problem at hand. The two-complex-variable Wiener-Hopf equation is reduced to a system of two equations, one of which contains Radlow's ansatz plus some correction term consisting of an explicitly known integral operator applied to a yet unknown function, whereas the other equation, the compatibility equation, governs the behaviour of this unknown function.
