Electromagnetic coupling between two half-space regions separatedby multiple slot-perforated parallel conducting screens

Considers the problem of electromagnetic coupling between two half-space regions separated by multiple slot-perforated parallel conducting screens. The fields are considered to be excited by either a transverse electric (TE) or a transverse magnetic (TM) plane wave. A characteristic mode solution is used for the computation of the fields in each half-space. Special attention is given to the power transmitted from one half-space to the other through the slots and to its functional dependence on various parameters. Numerical examples are presented for illustration and comparison
