Diffraction radiation (DR) from an ultrarelativistic particle in the high frequency limit is considered. The distribution of the emitted energy over angles and frequencies has been obtained. Both backward DR and forward DR have been explored. The maximum of backward DR is found to augment with increasing the oblique incidence angle.
