To have a non zero solution the determinant of the above matrix should be zero which gives the values for
. Figure
3 shows propagation and attenuation constants (
0 , > + j
propagation in y direction) versus frequency for a
structure with p=12.7 mm, l=4.8mm and r=9.
3. Fourier series expansion method
In this method we use Fourier series expansion method to calculate the propagation constant of the periodic structure
represented in Figure 1. Since structure is periodic in the y direction we can use Fourier series expansion to expand r.
That is
In this periodic environment electric and magnetic fields are
also periodic. So we have
