Abstract
TM plane-wave scattering from nite rectangular grooves in a conducting plane is systematically
analyzed with the overlapping T-block method. Multiple rectangular grooves are divided into several
overlapping T-blocks to obtain the fast CPU time, simple applicability, and wide versatility. The eld
representations within T-blocks are expressed using the Green's function relation and mode-matching
method. The scattered elds are obtained in simple closed forms including a fast-convergent integral.
I. Introduction
TM plane-wave scattering from nite rectangular grooves in a conducting plane is a
fundamental problem and has been extensively studied 1-11]. In 1], the integral equation
for a narrow gap is derived and solved with the moment method using pulse basis and point
matching functions. A third order GIBC (Generalized Impedance Boundary Condition) is
applied to the scattering from a two-dimensional groove, which is solved with the conjugate
gradient fast Fourier transform method 2]. The quasi-static integral equation for a narrow
rectangular groove is also obtained in 3]. In 4], the nite element method and generalized
network formulation is applied to get the admittance matrix of a two-dimensional cavity.
The Fourier transform technique is utilized to derive a fast-convergent series solution 5,
6]. To analyze electromagnetic scattering of a wide groove, a hybrid FE-FMM (Finite
Element-Fast Multipole Method) is proposed in 7]. The superdirective radiation from
nite gratings of rectangular grooves is investigated using the modal approach 8]. Some
techniques for the problems of three-dimensional gratings within rectangular or circular
waveguides are proposed in 12-14].
In the present work, we introduce a novel approach based on the overlapping T-block
method for the scattering from nite rectangular grooves in a conducting plane. The dis-
persion analyses 15, 16] of overlapping T-blocks are extended to the scattering analysis
of nite rectangular grooves. The nite rectangular grooves are divided into several over-
lapping T-blocks. The Hz elds within T-blocks are obtained using the Green's function
relation 15] and mode-matching technique. A new formulation of a T-block for the rect-
angular groove is introduced, which is di erent from those in 15, 16]. The main advantage
of the overlapping T-block method is that scattering relations of nite rectangular grooves
are obtained as simple closed forms without the need of the residue calculus 5, 6] and

the integral equation technique 1-4]. Our dominant-mode solution for the normal inci-
dence is quite accurate and useful for numerical evaluation, thus con rming the fast CPU
time, simple applicability, and wide versatility. The overlapping T-block method allows
us to obtain a simple yet numerically e cient series solution including a fast-convergent
integral.
II. Field Analysis of a Single Groove
Consider a rectangular groove with the TM plane-wave incidence shown in Fig. 1. The
time-factor e i!t is suppressed throughout. The incident and re ected Hz elds are shown
as, respectively,
Hi
z(x;y) = exp ik2(sin ix cos iy)] (1)

z(x;y) = exp ik2(sin ix + cos iy)] (2)
where k2 = !p 2 2 = 2 = 2 and i is an incident angle of the TM plane-wave. In regions

III. Field Analysis of Multiple Grooves
It is possible to apply the overlapping T-block approach to the geometry of multiple
rectangular grooves shown in Fig. 3. We rst divide the multiple grooves in Fig. 3 into
several overlapping T-blocks as shown in Fig. 4. The superposition procedures are also
utilized in 15, 16]. The Hz elds of Fig. 3 are represented as

space wavelength. When m = 0;2;4;6, our series solutions agree well with the quasi-
static solution 3]. Our computational experience indicates that a dominant-mode solution
(m = 0) for the normal incidence is almost identical to a more accurate solution including
six higher-modes (m = 6). When 2a= 0 = 1, the computational times (Pentium(R) CPU
1.7 GHz, RAM 256 MB) for m = 0;2;4;6 are 78 s, 750 s, 2.7 ms, 6.7 ms, respectively.
The peaks of backscattered echowidths are observed at 2a= 0 = 0.97, 1.95 for 1 = 2 0
and 2a= 0 = 0.60, 1.19, 1.79 for 1 = 4 0, respectively. The peaks in Fig. 5 may come
from the cavity resonance ( md =2) formed by a dielectric- lled groove.
Fig. 6 illustrates the behaviors of a normalized backscattered echowidth versus an
incident angle, i. It is seen that our higher-mode solutions (m = 2;4;6) agree well with
11]. A dominant-mode solution is accurate only near to the normal incidence (0 < i <
5 ).

is less than 25 .
V. Conclusions
Scattering analysis of nite rectangular grooves in a conducting plane is analytically
shown using the overlapping T-block method. Simple yet rigorous scattering relations for
nite rectangular grooves are presented and compared with other results. The behaviors
of a backscattered echowidth and a radiation pattern are studied in terms of a normalized
groove width and an incident angle. A dominant-mode solution for the normal incidence
is shown to be accurate and useful for the scattering of nite rectangular grooves.
