Analytical Method for Solving the Problem of Wave Diffraction by a Consecutive Set of Identical Elements

摘要

The efficient algorithm for calculation of scattering and dissipation characteristics of a consecutive set of an arbitrary number of identical elements described by the transmission matrix of a quadripole is pro- posed. Diffraction of a plane monochromatic wave by a layered quasiperiodic structure is considered as an example. The constitutive element comprises two different magnetodielectric layers with a resistive film between them. Direct analytical formulas for the scattering coefficients are obtained. The solution is invariant with the respect to the structure of the constitutive element, number of elements, constitutive parameters of the media, and type of the load.
