Popis: A new model-based parameter estimation (MBPE) method for multilayer periodic EM surfaces is discussed in this article. By applying the proposed method to predict the generalized scattering matrix (GSM) of each unit layer section, the response of a composite structure can be determined by cascading GSMs while allowing the salient behavior of each section to be accurately captured. Based on the spectral properties of Green’s functions with high-order wavenumbers and chosen basis functions, an advanced interpolation model is developed to estimate the broadband response of periodic structures in a robust and efficient manner. It needs fewer samples in the interpolation compared to the state of the art, and no restriction for the sample selection is required. Numerical analysis has been carried out for two types of multilayer structures, and a good agreement between the conventional periodic method of moments (PMM) and the proposed method has been obtained.
