Decompose the incident field into TE & TM components of the zeroth
order Floquet modes (denoted by coefficients A001 & A002 respectively) |

Expand the transmitted & reflected fields as an infinite series of
Floquet modes with unknown coefficients |

Match the boundary conditions at the filter, assuming an infinitely
thin, perfectly conducting filter |

Substitute the integral representation of the reflection and
transmission coefficients into the resulting equation to form an integral equation |

Provide faster convergence by expanding the tangential field at the
filter into orthonormal functions that span the aperture space (the set of wave guide
modes) |

Use the orthonormality of the wave guide functions to convert the
integral equation into a matrix equation (Galerkin's moment method) |

Decide where to truncate the infinite matrix equation |

Solve numerically by matrix inversion to determine unknown transmission
and reflection coefficients |
