Wave Diffraction by Periodic Multilayer Stuctures/Second Edition

The second edition of this volume includes new results, research and further development of the new approach to constructing the theory of electromagnetic wave interaction with periodic sequences of screens. This edition gives practical applications of new research pertaining to development of theory of metamaterials, element base of functional deveices of microwave and antenna technics. It also considers the periodic structure which either interact with the fields which have a continuous space spectrum or generate the diffracted fields with a continuous space spectrum. The volume is a useful reference for radiophysicists and radioengineers and researchers in applied physics including acoustics, aero- and hydrodynamics.L.M. Lytvynenko S.L. Prosvirnin S.A. Pogarsky
