For large , the outgoing kernel has
Thus the surface representation of an obstacle far-field pattern, with , gives
Conjugating the Herglotz wave function gives . Interchanging the angular and obstacle-surface integrals yields the Herglotz pairing with an obstacle far field:
This contains only the scattered-field boundary traces and the Herglotz function, with the outward-obstacle normal convention fixing the sign.
