Abstract

As demonstrated previously, the propagation of waves in distributed and discrete periodic structures can be described by a set of dispersion parameters such as wavenumber and Bloch impedance or by effective material parameters. In this chapter, different methods to obtain these parameters from a given geometry are introduced and investigated.

Notes

  1. 1.

    These scattering parameters usually originate from fullwave simulations or measurements where they cannot be obtained analytically.
