41. One reason is that the Hadden and Pierce solution is valid for screen widths much larger than a wavelength. Calculation for a 10 m wide screen (not plotted here) indeed showed a better agreement for the lower frequencies. As with the 1 m wide screen, a disagreement is still present for the higher frequencies. This can be attributed to the discretization of a corner in the implemented extended Fourier PSTD method; media interfaces are allocated explicitly whereas corners are not.
