Abstract :
This paper is devoted to a modal method for fast design of electrically large metal-plate lens structures. The method is based on Fourier modal method (FMM). The lens consists of stacked parallel-plate waveguides. The lens is considered as a medium with discontinuities described by Dirac Delta functions.
