RT Journal Article ID 225f342e7befe08b A1 Kramarenko, E. Yu. A1 Khizhnyak, Nikolai Antonovich T1 Effect of Periodic Faults in the Layer Thickness of a Dielectric Grating upon its Dispersion Properties JF Telecommunications and Radio Engineering JO TRE YR 2002 FD 2002-04-01 VO 57 IS 4 OP 4 AB The effect of periodic faults appearing in the structure of a dielectric grating upon its dispersion properties is analyzed. A dispersion relation is derived and analyzed numerically. The faults may result in splitting of the transmission zone pertinent to the periodic structure without errors of the kind. Stop bands where electromagnetic waves cannot propagate arise within the former transmission zone. The number of the stop band to appear depends on the repetition period of the fault.
