This paper presents an efficient equivalent circuit approach (ECA), based on a Floquet modal expansion, for the study of the co- and cross-polarization in frequency selective surfaces (FSS) formed by periodic arrays of patches/apertures in either single or stacked configurations. The ECA makes it possible the derivation of analytical...

Many frequency-selective surface (FSS) structures are based on the use of a single periodic array of slot/apertures in a conducting sheet embedded in a layered medium. However, it is well known that stacking several conducting sheets and breaking the alignment of the stack can bring multiple benefits to the structure. In this article, the...

This paper presents an efficient method to compute the dispersion diagram of periodic and uniform structures with generic anisotropic media. The method takes advantage of the ability of full-wave commercial simulators to deal with finite structures having anisotropic media. In particular, the proposed method ¡extends the possibilities of...

This paper studies wave propagation in a periodic parallel-plate waveguide with equilateral triangular holes. A mode-matching method is implemented to analyze the dispersion diagram of the structure possessing glide and mirror symmetries. Both structures present an unexpected high degree of isotropy, despite the triangle not being symmetric...
