Abstract. A physical interpretation of the solution for the 3D problem of electromagnetic wave diffraction by a flat perfectly conducting scatterer is considered. When analyzing the results of a numerical computation for a flat perfectly conducting polygon heuristic formulas are used. The formulas are constructed on the basis of a new method of the physical theory of the diffraction – the method of fundamental components. A heuristic formula that is most suitable for describing the diffraction process for a given geometry of the problem is chosen. The diffracted field dependence on the scatterer dimensions is analyzed.

Keywords: physical theory of diffraction, heuristic approaches, physical optics approximation, geometrical theory of diffraction, method of edge waves, 3D diffraction problem.
