Summary :

This paper deals with the scattering of transverse magnetic (TM) plane wave by a perfectly conductive surface made up of a periodic array of finite number of rectangular grooves. By the modal expansion method, the total scattering cross section pc is numerically calculated for several different numbers of grooves. It is then found that, when the groove depth is less than wavelenght, the total scattering cross section pc increases linearly proportional to the corrugation width W. But an exception takes place at a low grazing angle of incidence, where pc is proportional to Wα and the exponent α is less than 1. From these facts, it is concluded that the total scattering cross section pc must diverge but pc/W the total scattering cross section per unit surface must vanish at a low grazing limit when the number of grooves goes to infinity.
