These devices may have a relatively small number of grooves and rely on the wave-polarization dependence of the groove scattering to achieve their results. To achieve optimum performance (e.g., maximum polarization isolation) they must be modeled with an accuracy only possible through the use of rigorous vector diffraction theory. One such technique is applied to analyze and design perfectly conducting polarizers with finite number of arbitrarily-shaped features. The currents flowing on the grooves' surfaces are rigorously obtained, and from them the scattered field is determined. As an application example, the dimensions of the first and last grooves of a 20-triangular-grooves polarizer, operating at 1 /spl mu/m wavelength, are optimized to yield a polarization isolation of 57 dB.","PeriodicalId":225072,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115249274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the finite element method (FEM), arbitrarily complex cross-section guiding structures can be characterized and then, by means of an application of the reciprocity theorem, coupled to the slot. This approach overcomes the restrictions of previous methods, based on an application of method of moments (MoM), requiring the knowledge of the guiding structure Green's function. Further refinement of the computed radiated field is obtained by taking into account also the contribution arising from the diffraction at the edge of the perfectly conducting surface (of the rectangular waveguide walls) in which the slot resides.","PeriodicalId":225072,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1995 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127027638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
