Abstract
The intentional addition of loss to a periodic structure can be used as a technique to alter its scattering characteristics. The problem of an oblique plane wave incident on an array with one-dimensional periodicity is examined. The unit cell of the array is composed of a number of thin resistive strips. The obliqueness of the incident plane wave combined with the lossy nature of the structure causes the transverse electric (TE) to z and the transverse magnetic (TM) to z fields to couple. To analyze the described problem, two coupled electric field integral equations that have as unknowns the equivalent surface currents on the strips in the unit cell are derived. The integral equations are discretized and solved approximately using the method of moments with subdomain basis and testing functions. The periodic Green's function is efficiently calculated using the Poisson summation formula. The interaction of the structure with the surrounding environment is described in terms of a generalized scattering matrix. Results are presented showing the TE/TM coupling behavior as strip resistance is increased for representative structures.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
