Abstract-The problem of diffraction of a plane electromagnetic wave by a slot in a planar perfectly conducting screen of arbitrary thickness in the presence of a half-infinite dielectric arranged at a distance from a screen is solved rigorously on the bases of eigenfunction expansion and mode matching technique. The calculation algorithm for various components of the electric and magnetic field vectors in the entire space is presented, and a simple computation method for corresponding diffraction integrals is described. Just one more method of field visualization is demonstrated, which utilizes a picture of the energyflux lines.
