A Generalized Network Formulation for Transverse Discontinuities in a Rectangular Waveguide

Abstract

The paper considers the general problem of a waveguide double junction consisting of three dissimilar waveguides coupled together via apertures. An equivalence theorem is utilized to set up an integral equation which is solved by using the method of moments. The method is attractive in that it forms the basis for a common computer code for a wide category of waveguide discontinuities. Numerical results are presented for a number of test problems which show the versatility of the method.
