Abstract

In this paper the Method of Lines (MoL) is successfully extended to solve the EM wave scattering problems of periodic surfaces with arbitrary profile. As examples, the scattering coefficients of space harmonics of corrugated and sinusoidal surfaces are calculated. The results are in good agreement with available data from Wirgin and from A.K.Jordan et al. In addition, the results of comb structure are also calculated. The flexibility and less computation of this method make it eligible for analyzing various two-dimensional periodic structures.
