We consider the diffraction of a plane wave on a layer of symmetric hyperbolic metamaterial made of metal and SiO2 layers. It is shown that the reflection coefficient depends not only on the angle of incidence, but also on the direction of incidence relative to the anisotropy axis. In an arbitrary fall, a plate of an asymmetric hyperbolic metamaterial creates scattered waves of both polarizations. Keywords: hyperbolic metamaterial, diffraction, effective permittivity tensor, homogenization.
