Efficient Mode-Matching Analysis of 2-D Scattering by Periodic Array of Circular Cylinders

Abstract

Based on a common-area concept and insertion of an infinitesimal perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) wire, a new mode-matching method for mixed coordinate systems is proposed for the analysis of periodic magnetodielectric, perfect electric conductor, and PMC circular cylinder arrays. Our scattering solutions were computed and they showed favorable agreements with other known results in terms of power scattering coefficients, resonant frequency of nanostructures, and the sum rule of extinction width. The low-frequency solutions of periodic arrays were also formulated and compared with the full-wave counterparts.
