Abstract

A complex image method is presented for the analysis of a subwavelength circular aperture in a perfectly conducting screen of inflnitesimal thickness illuminated by a plane wave. The method is based on the Bethe-Bouwkamp quasi static model of the aperture fleld and uses the spectral domain formulation as the point of departure. Closed-form expressions are obtained for the electromagnetic flelds valid for all observation points. Sample numerical results demonstrate the accuracy and e-ciency of the method for both normal and oblique illuminations, including an evanescent wave. In the latter case, the results show a circulating power ∞ux and enhanced fleld conflnement near the aperture.
