Summary :

This paper proposes a novel image integral equation of the first type (IIE-1) for a TE plane wave scattering from periodic rough surfaces with perfect conductivity by means of the method of image Green's function. Since such an IIE-1 is valid for any incident wavenumbers including the critical wavenumbers, the analytical properties of the scattered wavefield can be generally and rigorously discussed. This paper firstly points out that the branch point singularity of the bare propagator inevitably appears on the incident wavenumber characteristics of the scattered wavefield and its related quantities just at the critical wavenumbers. By applying a quadrature method, the IIE-1 becomes a matrix equation to be numerically solved. For a periodic rough surface, several properties of the scattering are shown in figures as functions of the incident wavenumbers. It is then confirmed that the branch point singularity clearly appears in the numerical solution. Moreover, it is shown that the proposed IIE-1 gives a numerical solution satisfying sufficiently the optical theorem even for the critical wavenumbers.
