Abstract

Cavities based on a periodic-surface-lattice (PSL) of cylindrical topology have been studied. The lattice perturbations have an amplitude much smaller than the operating wavelength of the structure, allowing the PSL to be described as an effective metadielectric or high impedance surface. Dispersive plots describing the electromagnetic (EM) properties of the PSL are presented and the potential for novel sources of coherent high power radiation and Cherenkov devices is established.
