When solving numerically hyperbolic equations in spatially unbounded region
s, the volume of calculations can be reduced by using the radiation conditi
ons. To this end, a bounded subregion with an imaginary boundary is formed
in an original region. One solves an equation in this subregion looking for
a solution which satisfies the radiation conditions on the imaginary bound
ary. In this paper, a variant of these conditions is analyzed which substan
tially reduces the RAM resources necessary for numerical implementation of
the method. Since the proposed conditions are approximate, their applicatio
n must be justified. First of all, it is necessary to analyze the existence
and uniqueness of a solution to a problem in a bounded subregion and to pr
ove its closeness to the solution to the original problem. These aspects ar
e studied in this palter using the Klein-Gordon equation on a half-line, wh
ich arises in the problems of electromagnetic scattering in waveguides.
