Abstract

In many applications for reflector antennas, the reflector is made from flexible, conducting material. The wires are weaved together, forming a very complex structure to study. So far, these mesh structures have been approximated by rectangular grids. In this study, the mesh geometry is approximated by a skew-symmetric grid. The FFT-conjugate gradient method (FFT-CGM) is employed to solve the problem of scattering from such grids. A convenient unit cell is chosen and utilized to study the effects of skewness on the reflection coefficients and current densities. Calculated values of the reflection coefficient for different angles of incidence for both the bonded and unbonded skewed gratings are presented and discussed. (C) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
