Abstract
The use of a reference load (here, a short circuit) in a finite-difference time-domain method combined with Floquet boundary conditions in order to co mpute the complex reflection coefficient of infinite periodic structures is described. The short circuit imposes the position of a reference plane, es sential for the calculation of the phase. This approach is called 'numerica l calibration', by analogy with the experimental calibration of network ana lysers.
