Scattering of waves by an aperture in an impedance screen

The transmission and diffraction of waves by an aperture in an impedance screen is investigated. The Senior's solution of the scattering problem of waves by an impedance half-plane is transformed into a physical optics type integral. The obtained method is applied to the transmission problem of waves by a slit in an impedance screen. The results are compared with the aperture problem in black and conducting screens numerically.
