A General Mode Matching Technique applied to Bandpass Radomes

Widenberg, Björn LU (2001) In Technical Report LUTEDX/(TEAT-7098)/1-33/(2001)
Abstract
A new method based on the mode matching technique and the finite element

method (FEM) is presented. The method can handle a general thick frequency

selective structure (FSS), that consists of an arbitraryn umber of aperture

layers and dielectric layers. An aperture layer consists of a conducting plate

with a periodic arrayof apertures. The order and the thickness of the layers

can be arbitrary. The aperture can have arbitrary cross-section, and these

cross-sections can be changed stepwise. The apertures can also be filled with

a dielectric material.

The method for the bandpass radomes is based on general mode matching

technique and cascade coupling. The fields... (More)

a dielectric material.

The method for the bandpass radomes is based on general mode matching

technique and cascade coupling. The fields outside the FSS and inside the

dielectric layers are expanded in Floquet modes. Inside the aperture layers

the fields are expanded in waveguide modes, which are calculated with FEM.

Bya mode matching technique, a scattering matrix is calculated for every

boundarysurface and a propagation matrix is calculated for everyla yer. These

matrices are cascade coupled to form a scattering matrix for the complete

FSS. The method has been verified bycomparison with other methods and

measurements. (Less)
