Frequency-selective screens and radiating and guiding structures based on anisotropically conducting surfaces

Three types of elements with an anisotropically conducting surface—a strip, a cylinder, and a sphere—that are of interest for certain applications are considered. It is shown that these electrodynamic objects exhibit resonance properties even when their dimensions are small compared to the wavelength and that resonances occur in both 2D and 3D diffraction problems. It is found that the presence of low-frequency resonances provides for a wide variety of electrodynamic properties of the objects under study and of gratings formed from such elements. Examples of implemented waveguides, waveguide mode converters, frequency-selective circular-polarization antennas, and polarization transducers are presented.
