| Abstract | Efficient numerical analysis of finite and infinite periodic structures involving finite dielectric material by the method of moments (MoM) is important for applications of phased arrays and metamaterials [1]. When periodic structures are excited by nonperiodic sources, one may apply the Array Scanning Method (ASM), which replaces the nonperiodic problem with an integral superposition of periodic problems [2]. The integration is performed over the phase shifts between adjacent elements of the structure from 0 to 2π and requires the numerical solution of periodic subproblems [3]-[4]. However, as the inter-element phase shifts range from 0 to 2π, the convergence of the periodic Green's function -and of its gradient- gets very difficult near Rayleigh-Wood's anomaly [5]. This anomaly occurs when dipoles form a beam in the direction of the observation point close to the array plane in the line-by-line formulation of infinite-array Green's function [1]. Therefore, the periodic Green's function needs to be evaluated near Rayleigh-Wood's anomaly accurately to apply the ASM properly. Another application of the ASM is the efficient analysis of the finite periodic structures by the Macro Basis Function (MBF) approach [6]-[8]. The MBF approach reduces the number of unknowns describing each element of a finite periodic structure by at least one order of magnitude. The ASM provides a physically based approach for the proper choice of MBFs, which lead to a sufficiently complete basis for the problem of interest [9]. This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2.1, we revisit Levin extrapolation to accelerate the computation of the doubly periodic Green's function near the Rayleigh-Wood's anomaly to apply the ASM properly. In Section 2.2 we apply the ASM to electromagnetic scattering from a doubly periodic structure composed of dielectric objects excited by a single point source. We observe that the scattered electric field distribution for uniform phase shifts in the spectral domain has singular behavior at the boundary of the visible space due to the singularity of the periodic Green's function. This behavior is responsible for a highly oscillatory response in the spatial domain. To improve the quality of estimated field near the limits of the visible region, we implement a second order polynomial extrapolation on the (MoM) system matrix. Finally, in Section 2.3, a validation example is shown for finite-array solutions of dielectric objects with the help of the combined infinite array solution and MBF approaches. We observe that 4×4 infinite array solutions in spectral domain remain sufficient to form a sufficiently complete set of MBFs for the analysis of a dielectric sphere array. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
