Analysis of waveguide discontinuities in H-plane using finite element-boundary element technique

An H-plane waveguide component with arbitrary shape is analyzed using finite element technique in conjunction with boundary element method (BEM). For the application of BEM in the waveguide structure, a ray representation of the waveguide Green's function is used. This technique is applied to the waveguide inductive junction to compare with the mode matching technique. The waveguide step load problem is also analyzed and the results are presented.>
