Abstract :
Fourier analysis of the currents on one of a pair of periodic surfaces is used to show the presence of quasi-waveguide modes and array-guided surface waves. Several distinctions are drawn between these two mechanisms as well as trapped grating lobes which can occur if dielectric slabs are present.
