Summary:A solution finite for all directions of illumination and observation is derived for the physical optics (PO) components of equivalent edge currents. The solution is based on the uniform asymptotic theory of endpoint evaluation of integrals. An extension taking into account the variation of the surface metric with the distance from the edge is presented, and a similar extension for including slope diffraction is indicated. The expressions derived complement the results of our previous work on elimination of infinities from the fringe components of equivalent currents.
