A modal analysis of transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode in a circular-rec
tangular coaxial waveguide is presented in this paper. The analysis Is base
d on the modal-expansion technique. Analytic Expressions for the characteri
stic impedance and attenuation coefficient are derived from the solution of
the TEM mode. The calculated results are compared with those of the finite
-element method, as well as published data. Excellent agreement is observed
.
