N2 - We consider a time-harmonic wave problem, appearing, for example, in water-wave theory, in acoustics, or in electromagnetism, in a setting such that the analysis reduces to the study of a 2D waveguide problem with a Neumann boundary condition. The geometry is symmetric with respect to an axis orthogonal to the direction of propagation of waves. Moreover, the waveguide contains one branch of finite length. We analyze the behavior of the complex scattering coefficients R, T as the length of the branch increases, and we show how to design geometries where nonreflectivity (R = 0, |T| = 1), perfect reflectivity (|R| = 1, T = 0), or perfect invisibility (R = 0, T = 1) holds. Numerical experiments illustrate the different results.
