Abstract :
Efficient numerical analysis of finite and infinite periodic structures involving finite dielectric material by the method of moments (MoM) is important for applications of phased arrays and metamaterials. When periodic structures are excited by nonperiodic sources, one may apply the array scanning method (ASM), which replaces the nonperiodic problem with an integral superposition of periodic problems.
