We re-examine the classical one-dimensional transmission grating to explain the enhanced transmission in the surface impedance approximation. The nearly zero transmission and extraordinary transmission phenomena related to the surface plasmon are presented by analysing the scattering amplitude of waveguide mode at the output surface of grating. It is revealed that the transmission peaks are related to the Fabry-Perot factor and the interaction of surface plasmon and other diffractive orders.
