Surface wave scattering by periodic grooves of arbitrary profile in a grounded dielectric slab is investigated for the TE surface wave incidence. Both the finite and infinite periodic geometries are considered. The former case is analyzed by using of hybrid FEM/MOM and the latter by using of full MOM procedure. Some numerical results for the reflected and transmitted powers in a grounded dielectric slab, radiation power into the free space, and radiation patterns in case of finite structure and for the dispersion diagram in case of infinite structure are presented. And some descriptions on the relationship between the finite and infinite structure such as the maximum beam angle are given.
