Thick Frequency Selective Surface with Rectangular Apertures (TFSSRA) was developed to calculate the scattering parameters for a thick frequency selective surface with rectangular apertures on a skew grid at oblique angle of incidence. The method of moments is used to transform the integral equation into a matrix equation suitable for evaluation on a digital computer. TFSSRA predicts the reflection and transmission characteristics of a thick frequency selective surface for both TE and TM orthogonal linearly polarized plane waves.
A model of a half-space infinite array is used in the analysis. A complete set of basis functions with unknown coefficients is developed for the waveguide region (waveguide modes) and for the free space region (Floquet modes) in order to represent the electromagnetic fields. To ensure the convergence of the solutions, the number of waveguide modes is adjustable. The method of moments is used to compute the unknown mode coefficients. Then, the scattering matrix of the half-space infinite array is calculated. Next, the reference plane of the scattering matrix is moved half a plate thickness in the negative z-direction, and a frequency selective surface of finite thickness is synthesized by positioning two plates of halfthickness back-to-back. The total scattering matrix is obtained by cascading the scattering matrices of the two half-space infinite arrays.
TFSSRA carries the NASA case number NPO-18806. It was originally released as part of the COSMIC collection.
