Cover Story: We critically discuss here the computation of the dispersion diagram for guiding/radiating structures with 1-D periodicity. The full-wave simulations of finite sections of the periodic structure are combined with the appropriate simplifying network models, as shown in the figure. Panel (b) corresponds to a cascade of two-port networks while panel (c) corresponds to a cascade of multi-port networks. The advantages, limitations, and range of validity of the two different combined methods are thoroughly analyzed. View this paper.
