Sm. Cui et Dg. Fang, ANALYSIS OF THE DIFFRACTION COEFFICIENTS OF CORRUGATED SURFACES WITH THE USE OF A NUMERICAL GTD METHOD, Microwave and optical technology letters, 15(5), 1997, pp. 297-303
In this article the numerical method for extracting diffraction coeffi
cients of wedge structures is extended to calculate diffraction coeffi
cients of wedges with the corrugated surfaces for which no closed-form
expressions exist. Extensive numerical results are given, and they ma
y be useful in design and engineering applications. We also provide so
me assessment of the diffraction coefficients of artificially soft sur
faces derived more recently. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
