Summary: We consider diffraction of waves on a product cone. We first show that diffractive waves enjoy a one-step polyhomogeneous asymptotic expansion, which is an improvement of \textit{J. Cheeger} and \textit{M. Taylor}'s classical result of half-step polyhomogeneity of diffractive waves in [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 35, 275--331 (1982; Zbl 0526.58049); ibid. 35, 487--529 (1982; Zbl 0536.58032)]. We also conclude that on product cones, the scatteringmatrix is the diffraction coefficient, which is the principal symbol of the diffractive half wave kernel, for strictly diffractively related points on the cross section. This generalize the result of \textit{G. A. Ford} et al. in 2-dimensional flat cone settings [J. Spectr. Theory 8, No. 2, 605--667 (2018; Zbl 1403.35015)]. In the last section, we also give a radiation field interpretation of the relationship between the scattering matrix and the diffraction coefficient.
