Abstract

Active frequency selective surface (FSS) structure is a kind of electromagnetic spatial filter, which has been widely used in the communication and radar systems. The spectral-element time domain method has been used to analyze the scattering characteristic of finite planar FSS structures. It has the advantages of spectral accuracy and block-diagonal mass matrix. This technique is based on Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre polynomials and Galerkin´s method is used for spatial discretization. The absorbed boundary condition is employed to truncate the boundary. Numerical results demonstrate the accuracy of the method.
