RADIO PHYSICS AND RADIO ASTRONOMY

PACS number: 41.20.Jb  

Purpose: The E-polarized wave diffraction by an infinite periodic strip grating without a single strip is considered.

Design/methodology/approach: The total field is found as a sum of field of infinite periodical grating and field induced by the removal of a single strip. The problem is reduced to the singular integral equations with additional conditions.

Findings: The directional patterns and field distribution in the
domain above the grating are represented.

Conclusions: The effective algorithm for study of the field which appeared as a result of absence of a single strip is suggested.

Key words: infinite periodic grating, integral equation, diffraction
