| Abstract: | The vector 3-D problem of a point-source field in a plane waveguide with a large-scale local inhomogeneity on one of its walls is considered. The field components on the boundary surfaces comply with the Leontovich conditions, which are used as a basis for obtaining expressions for the derivatives of the field vectors normal to the boundaries; these expressions reflect the 3-D nature of the inhomogeneity. The problem is reduced to a system of 2-D integral equations allowing for overexcitation and depolarization of the field scattered by the irregularity. The system of 2-D integral equations is asymptotically transformed over the inhomogeneity region on the surface of the walls bounding the waveguide space into a system of linear integral equations, for which the integration contour is represented by the line between the source and observation point, as well as by the linear geometric contour of the irregularity.State University, St. Petersburg.
