Fourier-transform analysis for E-plane T-junction in a rectangular waveguide

The E-plane T-junction in a rectangular waveguide is re-examined using the Fourier transform. The scattered fields are represented in continuous and d iscrete modes, and the boundary conditions are enforced to obtain simultane ous equations for the discrete modal coefficients. The residue calculas is utilized to represent the reflection and transmission coefficients in a rap idly convergent series. Our series solution skews an excellent agreement wi th other existing solutions. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
