Analysis of the Method of Lines for H-Waveguide with Multichip Dielectric

Abstract

An analytic model for solving H-waveguide filled in multichip dielectric is established by using the method of lines in this paper. The characteristic equations of H-guide under different mode are obtained. Some dispersion and cut-off characteristics of H-guides with double and four dielectric strips are numerically calculated and some valuable results are got. The correctness of this model is verified. Difficulty on disposing of electromagnetic boundary value problem in regular guide filled in non-uniform dielectric is overcome by using the model. The application scope of the method of lines is developed as well. This is of important values in study and application of H-guide filled in multichip dielectric as well as disposing of electromagnetic boundary value problem with non-uniform dielectric.
