Summary
A new approach is described for modeling the electromagnetic field in large, finite, almost periodic structures like antenna arrays, photonic bandgap materials and frequency selective surfaces. The general idea is to characterize the complete electromagnetic behavior in a single cell, and “embed” this cell in a complicated, linearly reacting environment. This principle is first explained for a dielectric cylinder inside a circular, conducting container and subsequently for a 2D photonic bandgap structure consisting of dielectric cylinders. Representative results are presented and discussed.
