Abstract
- The problem of improving the computational efficiency in the numerical analysis of planar periodic structures is investigated here using the mixed-potential integral-equation (MPIE) approach. A new regularization of the periodic Green's functions (PGFs) that are involved in the analysis of multi-layered structures is introduced, based on the effective-medium concept. This regularization involves extracting the singularities of the PGFs up to second-order terms. The resulting regularized PGF is very smooth and amenable to interpolation. Thus, optimized interpolation procedures for the PGFs can be applied, resulting in a considerable reduction of computation time without any significant effect on the accuracy. Another benefit of the regularization is that it significantly enhances the convergence of the series for both the vector- and scalar-potential PGFs. The theoretical formulation is fully validated with various numerical results for both two-dimensional (2-D) and one-dimensional (l-D) layered-media periodic structures. Index Terms--Acceleration techniques, interpolation methods, layered media, mixed-potential Green's functions, periodic structures.
