Computation of layered mixed potentials for the accurate and efficient analysis of periodic printed structures

Abstract : Original acceleration procedures are proposed for the efficient calculation of the vertical components of the dyadic and scalar mixed-potential layered-media periodic Green's functions for various types of periodic structures. The extraction of suitable asymptotic terms, i.e., quasi-static images, is performed in order to speed up the convergence of the relevant spectral series. The extracted terms can be expressed as potentials for array of half-plane and half-line sources, depending on the type of the considered periodic Green's function. The relevant numerical results show the remarkable improvements in the efficiency of the approach.
