Abstract

In this work, a very efficient mixed-potential integral-equation formulation is implemented for the rigorous analysis of multilayered structures with arbitrarily shaped two-dimensional periodic metallic and/or dielectric inclusions. Original acceleration techniques have been developed for the computation of the components of the scalar and dyadic Green's functions, based on different types of asymptotic extractions according to the potential considered. The theoretical approach and its computational convenience have been validated through different full-wave analyses concerning both scattering problems and complex-mode dispersive behaviors in various frequency-selective structures for microwave applications.
