Generalized Modal Scattering Matrix of Discontinuity-distorted Waveguide Multiport Junctions
نویسنده
چکیده
A generalized modal scattering matrix formulation is presented for the calculation of discontinuity-distorted waveguide multiport junctions. Unlike common approaches based on three-plane mode-matching techniques, and modifications thereof, which calculate only the fundamental-mode scattering matrix, this algorithm computes the generalized modal scattering matrix of the junction. Therefore, the method allows the computation of components in which other structures are connected as closely as possible to the discontinuity-distorted junction as follows directly from the rigorous incorporation of all higher-order mode interactions. The method is demonstrated at three selected examples: the waveguide corner, the T-junction power divider and the orthomode transducer. Comparison with results obtained by other numerical techniques or measurements available from the literature are found to be in good agreement. 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Analysis of Nonlinear Cylindrical Waveguide Taper Using Modal Matching Technique
Nonlinear tapered waveguide sections are often needed in the microwave/millimeter-wave system to connect the two waveguides of different radii. The presence of such a taper inevitably introduces unwanted parasitic modes and reflections. The modal matching technique is a powerful computer friendly method for analyzing horn antennas or nonlinear waveguides in which the actual profile is replaced ...
متن کاملAccurate Radar Cross Section Modelling of Jet Inlets & Engines
Most of the industrial software codes used for the prediction of the radar cross-section (RCS) of aircrafts are based on ray tracing. While ray based methods give useful scattered fields from the skin of the aircraft illuminated by an incident plane wave, they largely fail to predict the returns from cavities onboard. As a possible enhancement to these ray-tracing programs, an auxiliary program...

The modal "elds, generalized scattering matrix (GSM) theory and dyadic Green's functions relating to a general uniform hollow waveguide are brie#y reviewed in a mutually consistent normalization. By means of an analysis linking these three concepts, an extended version of the mathematical expression of Huygens' principle is derived, applying to scattering from an arbitrary object within a hollo...

We examine the scattering from cylindrically periodic engine-like structures using integral-equation methods. The periodic scatterer is enclosed in a cylindrical waveguide, and the primary goal of this paper is to show that this type of geometry affords substantial computational reductions by exploiting the periodicity of the blade structure and characteristics of the modal scattering matrix of...

A rigorous modal analysis (MA) for the -plane waveguide T-junction loaded with a partial-height conducting post is presented in this paper. The analysis is based on the classical resonator mode-matching technique for waveguide junction problems and a novel concept called extended eigenmode functions. The new concept can be used for constructing eigenmode functions of a complex resonator region ...
