Abstract
An efficient and novel approach, the fast all modes (FAM) method, was developed to locate all modes precisely on the entire complex plane for a single layered media. The modes include surface wave modes, leaky wave modes, and improper modes. For the case where the layer thickness is 1 wavelength, the pre‐processing FAM requires 0.34 s for computing 500 mode locations of both TE and TM modes using a Pentium IV 3.2 GHz PC running Matlab. To justify our FAM method, we use the numerical modified steepest‐descent path (NMSP) method to evaluate spatial domain Green's functions for mixed potentials G~A~ and G~V~. The NMSP method computes the steepest descent integral with all the pole proximities extracted and replaced by incomplete error functions. The CPU per distance point based on the FAM/NMSP method takes less than 6 mss for all distance ranges. All computed results are accurate to within 0.2% of the conventional half space extraction method. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
