In this article, the unidirectional current screen was used as an asymptotic strip boundary condition (ASBC) for analysis of field problems containing metal strip grids.
Abstract
We discuss the unidirectional current screen as an asymptotic strip boundary condition (ASBC) for analysis of field problems containing metal strip grids, and we introduce a related asymptotic corrugation boundary condition (ACBC) for analysis of corrugated surfaces. The boundary conditions are asymptotic in the sense that the exact boundary conditions approach the asymptotic ones when the strip and corrugation periods approach zero. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Impedance boundary conditions for imperfectly conducting surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the exact electromagnetic boundary conditions at the surface of a material of large refractive index can be approximated to yield the usual impedance or Leontovich boundary conditions, which are valid for surfaces whose radii of curvature are large compared with the penetration depth.
