Arbitrary polarization E field at oblique incidence of plane wave

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

Is there a way to simulation at plane wave at oblique incidence on a surface (3D)?

I want to set the polarization to a linear combination of p and s polarization wrt the incident plane (rather than TM or TE).


I've set one set of boundaries to be floquet condition to represent oblique incidence and the other orthogonal set of boundaries to be periodic. Result is qualitatively okay but not quite accurate.

Wondering if anyone has had experience with this...

Have you tried using the scattered-field formulation in the RF module? You can specify incident plane waves of arbitrary configuration there.

Hi! Could you specify how to use scattering field here?
