Abstract
Three high-frequency methods of calculating the scattering from metallic edged bodies are compared. The first two are the physical and geometrical theories of diffraction, which have been well established since the late 1950's, and the third is the method of equivalent currents. It is shown that the three share remarkably similar features, although each has its particular virtues and limitations in practical applications.Keywords
