Scattering Characteristics of Two-Dimensionally Periodic Impedance Surface

Ruey Bing Hwang Member, IEEE

Page 1521.

Abstract:

We present here an exact formulation for the three-dimensional (3-D) boundary-value problem of plane wave scattering by a two-dimensionally (2-D) periodic impedance surface in a uniform medium. The scattering characteristics of such a structure are rigorously analyzed in terms of the complete set of both TE-and TM-polarized plane waves in the uniform medium. Extensive numerical results are given to illustrate physical phenomena associated with the structure.
