Abstract :
An efficient numerical scheme has been introduced for calculating the field at the interface of a 2D EBG or periodic artificial material. An analysis of the branch point singularities in the complex wavenumber plane allows for a determination of the physical properties of the field. The asymptotic field behavior 1/(na)32/ that is predicted has been confirmed by calculations.
