Enhanced electromagnetic transmission through a slit surrounded by rectangular grooves

Abstract

Electromagnetic transmission through a slit surrounded by rectangular grooves in a conducting plane is investigated. An electromagnetic boundary-value problem associated with a slit surrounded by rectangular grooves in a conducting plane is rigorously solved based on the Fourier transform, eigenfunction expansion and mode matching method. The transmission coefficient through the slit is represented in a series. Computation is performed to illustrate the effect of the groove geometry on the transmission behaviours.
