This paper describes a full wave analysis of the scattering from electromagnetic absorbers which can be approximated as infinite periodic structure using hybrid finite element method. By introducing fictitious boundaries, equivalent finite region is defined and proper boundary conditions of each boundary are obtained by Floquet theorem. Since higher-order Floquet modes are employed, the method presented in this paper can be readily applied to the periodic structure haying a relatively long period. To reduce difficulty in evaluating the surface integral, the normal component to the surface were represented with the tangential component to the surface. Comparisons of calculated results with analytical or published ones show the validation of the method.
