Analysis of systems of waveguide discontinuities by the method of moments
Abstract
The first system is that of multiple apertures of arbitrary shape in the transverse plane between two cylindrical waveguides. The second system consists of metallic obstacles in a rectangular waveguide that are uniform along the narrow side of the waveguide, but are otherwise of arbitrary shape and thickness, i.e., a system of inductive posts. The third system consists of metallic obstacles in a rectangular waveguide that are uniform along the broad side of the waveguide, but are otherwise of arbitrary cross section and thickness. The study of the systems of discontinuities is basically theoretical. A complete field analysis is given for each system. The analysis is quite general, and takes account only of the stated structure of the system of discontinuities. Various representations of each system are obtained and examined in detail. The computational aspects of the analysis are also discussed for the systems of inductive and capacitive posts. Numerical results pertaining to the equivalent network of some of the post configurations are reported.
