Abstract
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... (More)
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. (Less)
