Abstract
We describe here a Vector Finite Difference approach to the evaluation of waveguide eigenvalues and modes for rectangular, circular and elliptical waveguides. The FD is applied using a 2D cartesian, polar and elliptical grid in the waveguide section. A suitable Taylor expansion of the vector mode function allows to take exactly into account the boundary condition. To prevent the raising of spurious modes, our FD approximation results in a constrained eigenvalue problem, that we solve using a decomposition method. This approach has been evaluated comparing our results to the analytical modes of rectangular and circular waveguide, and to known data for the elliptic case.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
