Analysis of Electromagnetic Scattering by Periodic Strip Grating on a Grounded Dielectric/Magnetic Slab for Arbitrary Plane Wave Incidence Case

Page 1386.

Abstract:

A new type of integral equation that is coupled with strip-electric and slot-magnetic currents is applied to the analysis of electromagnetic scattering by a periodic strip grating on a grounded dielectric/magnetic slab for an oblique incident plane wave with arbitrary polarization. In the analysis, the electric and magnetic currents are expanded into a product of a series of cosine functions and a function satisfying the edge condition. Coupled linear equations for the unknown electric and magnetic currents are obtained. From the coupled linear equations, explicit expressions for the reflection coefficients are derived by the use of a single edge-mode expansion. The validity of the method is examined by numerically calculated boundary conditions. A comparison between the calculated results from the present method and a previous by measured ones shows that the accuracy of the method is excellent. Numerical calculations show that the method converges very rapidly with resonable accuracy.
