Prof. Dr. Sami ARICAIn this thesis, the diffraction of plane electromagnetic waves from a chiralhalf-plane simulated by the surface coupled boundary conditions is investigated. Thisproblem was considered by M. A. Lyalinov, A. H. Serbest and T. İkiz and thesolution was obtained by Maliuzhinetz method. Here, the corresponding boundary-value problem was reduced to a Wiener-Hopf equation by using Fourier transformtechnique. By certain transformations, the Wiener-Hopf equation of scalar type wasobtained and the factorization of the Wiener-Hopf kernel is made by using theMaliuzhinetz function. The diffraction coefficient was obtained by the steepestdescent method and numerical solutions were obtained for certain values of someparameters.Keywords: Chiral Half-Plane, Wiener-Hopf Method, Maliuzhinetz Function, FourierTransform Technique, The Steepest Descent Method.II
