AbslrachThe scattering of electromagnetic waves by planar arrays of perfectly conducting strips is analymd by a simple method based on physical optics. The induced current as determined by physical optics is used in simple hand computation to obtain the amplitudes of various propagating space harmonics. Results are compared against some exact results available in the literature to show the accuracy of the proposed approximate method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
