In this study physical optics (PO) surface current is obtained by using the Malyughinetz solution to get the scattered field expression for a truncated cylindrical conductive cap satisfying the related boundary conditions given throughout this paper. This is done by using the inverse edge point method for the transformation from the Malyughinetz solution for the wave diffraction by a half plane to the wave diffraction by a truncated conductive cylinder. This transformation method can be used to examine the diffraction and scattering phenomena for curved surfaces having discontinuities as dealt with in this work. Total scattered field comprising the incident and scattered fields is plotted with respect to the observation angle for some parameters of the problem. The obtained results are examined numerically for the same parameters.
