E. Limiti et al., Efficient hybrid finite elements - Modal expansion method for microstrip-to-waveguide transitions analysis, J ELECTROM, 15(8), 2001, pp. 1027-1035
The characterization of a microstrip-to-waveguide microwave transition is p
erformed via the application of an efficient Finite Element Method/Hybrid M
odal Expansion. The method requires the knowledge of a modal expansion at e
ach junction port. This expansion is known in the waveguide and is numerica
lly computed in the microstrip region via the Finite Element Method again.
