Thick screens perforated with a periodic array of apertures with arbitrary cross-section
Författare
Summary, in English
A plane wave impinges on a perfectly conducting thick screen perforated with
a periodic array of apertures with arbitrary cross-section. The transmission
and reflection coefficients are determined by a mode matching technique, earlier
used by other authors for the case where the apertures have the geometry
of a classical waveguide. The fields outside the screen are expanded in
plane waves, while the fields inside the apertures are expanded in waveguide
modes, obtained by the finite element method (FEM). Excellent agreement
between computed and measured transmission is found for a thick screen at
the X-band (8.2−12.4 GHz). Moreover, the present method and the spectral
Galerkin method (which assumes that the thickness of the screen is zero) is
compared for very thin screens, e.g., for a frequency selective surface (FSS).
Investigation of the thickness dependence is also done, and it is found that the
bandwidth decreases when the thickness of the screen is increased. Finally
two complex geometries, hexagonal and tripole apertures, are studied.
