Engineering Approach to Finite Curved Conductor-Dielectric Periodic Screen

A simplified approach to analysis of finite and curved conductor-dielectric periodic (CDP) screen is proposed. The contribution of the element in the real structure is estimated by that of the elaborately constructed virtual infinite planar CDP structure. The analytic results based on Floquet theorem are useable for the proposed approach thus high efficiency and accuracy are obtained. The calculated and measured data are in good agreements of a model.
