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.

Theoretical study of the corrugated hard horn used as feed in multi-beam antennas for dual band operation at 20/30 GHz

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that in a cluster-fed reflector, a normal single-tuned hard horn can satisfy the usual -25 dB system requirements for the cross polarization over a large frequency band, but it cannot completely satisfy the requirements for copolar level in the neighboring beam.

Study of High-Efficiency Corrugated Hard-Horn Antennas Using Classical Approaches: Hard Circular Waveguide Mode, Phase Factor, and Aperture Integration

TL;DR: In this paper, a classical-type approach is used to analyze the hard horn antenna and the quasi-TEM mode in the longitudinally corrugated cylindrical waveguide is found by using the homogenized asymptotic boundary conditions.

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.
