Bn. Das et al., CUTOFF FREQUENCIES OF GUIDING STRUCTURES WITH CIRCULAR AND PLANAR BOUNDARIES, IEEE microwave and guided wave letters, 5(6), 1995, pp. 186-188
The paper presents a method of evaluation of cutoff frequencies of a g
uiding, structure consisting of two eccentric circular arcs with edges
shorted by conducting planes. Combination of conformal transformation
and method of finite difference is used for the analysis. The general
formulation is applied to the limiting cases of lunar guide and also
the guiding structure of semicircular cross section with a semicircula
r dent along its diameter. Numerical data for TE and TM modes are pres
ented for different angular separation between the shorting:planes, di
stance between the centers and ratio of radii.
