I am trying to design a circularly symmetric high impedance surface. However, when I run the simulation in HFSS to calculate the reflection phase, I see this warning message: "Port 1 supports an additional propagating and/or slowly decaying mode whose attenuation is 0.000e+00 and propagation constant is 1.799e+03". The simulation also takes a lot of time to solve. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Two papers on circularly symmetric HIS:
