Abstract

Diffraction analysis is presented for infinite planar conducting-cylinder grids illuminated by normally incident (parallel-polarized) plane waves, the electric fields of which are parallel to the cylinder axes. The Green´s function kernel integral equations are used for the induced currents, which are based on the equivalent waveguide theory and solved for the currents by the moment method. This is a universal analysis approach, applicable to infinite planar grids made of conducting cylinders of arbitrary cross section, uniform or periodic, dense or sparse, single layer or multilayer
