Abstract :
The propagation characteristics of surface waves with periodic waveguides is investigated by introducing perfect electric or magnetic walls, and regarding the periodic corrugations as consisting of step discontinuities connected by a length of uniform slab waveguide. The use of conservation of complex power technique significantly reduces the computational cost.
