Moment Method Analysis of Corrugated Surfaces Using the Aperture Integral Equation

This communication describes a method of moments formulation to analyze the scattering from corrugated surfaces. The approach is based on the aperture integral equation. Such approach decouples the analysis of the impedance effect of the grooves from the external coupling among grooves and allows us to deal accurately with grooves of any shape. Advantage is taken of the geometrical properties of the problem to solve it efficiently using a conjugate gradient-FFT algorithm.
