Abstract

In this paper, a mixed method (MM) combining the advantages of finite difference time domain (FDTD), extrapolation, and matrix cascade methods is proposed. First, the hybrid algorithm combining the FDTD and extrapolation method is used to compute the electromagnetic characteristics of the single-layer frequency selective surface (FSS). Subsequently, matrix cascade method is used to calculate the electromagnetic characteristics of the multi-layer FSS. By introducing the Floquet theorem and considering the periodic boundary condition (PBC), absorbing boundary conditions (ABC) of the FSS, a three-dimensional model, is established. The computational results show that, while maintaining the same level of accuracy, the hybrid method greatly improves the computation speed and reduces the computer memory compared with the simulation software. It can provide an important reference for the subsequent study of the electromagnetic characteristics ofthe FSS.
