Abstract: In this paper, the effect of a parallel plate waveguide's wall thickness on radar cross-section reduction (RCS) is rigorously analyzed for H-polarization by using the Wiener-Hopf Technique, when the waveguide region is loaded with dielectric material and terminated with a perfect electric conductor (PEC) plate. Transfer matrices are incorporated into the analysis to account for the effect of different material layers through continuity relations. The Fourier transforms of the diffracted field and the boundary conditions yield a modified scalar Wiener-Hopf equation of the second kind (MWHE-2). The classical procedure to solve the MWHE-2 is applied and the approximate expression of the diffracted far field is obtained. Numerical results are given by comparing with the results available in the literature for the case of the wall thickness of the cavity not being considered.
