TWO-DIMENSIONAL ELECTROMAGNETIC SCATTERING OF NON-PLANE INCIDENT WAVES BY PERIODIC STRUCTURES

This paper proposes the pseudo-periodic Fourier transform to analyze the electromagnetic scattering from periodic structures with non-plane wave incidence. The pseudo-periodic Fourier transform converts arbitrary field components into pseudo-periodic functions and the conventional grating theories based on the Floquet theorem become applicable. The inverse transform is given by integrating with respect to the transform parameter over a finite interval and the near field analysis requires numerical integration. Some application examples are numerically examined and the results show good convergence.
