A MATLAB-based virtual diffraction tool, using analytical exact as well as well-known high-frequency asymptotic (HFA) techniques, is introduced. Electromagnetic wave scattering from a wedge-shaped object with perfect electrical conductor (PEC) boundaries, under both line-source and plane-wave illuminations, can be automatically analyzed. Effects of various parameters on the reflection, refraction, and diffraction can be investigated. Comparisons among Geometrical Optics (GO), Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD), Physical Optics (PO), Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD), and Parabolic Equation (PE) models are possible through many scenarios and illustrations.
