Reciprocity, energy conservation, and time-reversal invariance are three general properties of the wave fields that imply algebraic scattering matrix properties. In this paper, these scattering matrix properties are established for waveguides when evanescent modes are taken into account. The situations correspond to guided acoustic pressure waves in fluids and Lamb waves in solids treated with the same formalism. The relations between the three properties verified by the scattering matrix are then discussed, and it is found that, as soon as two properties are verified, the third is also verified.
