Abstract
A general method is proposed to analyze aperiodic or periodic Longitudinally Inhomogeneous Waveguides (LIWs). In this method, the electric permittivity function is expanded in the Fourier series. Then, the eigenvalues of periodic LIWs and so the S parameters of aperiodic LIWs are obtained. The accuracy of the method is studied using a comprehensive example.
