Computer-aided design of E-plane waveguide passive components

The newly developed numerical analysis method for the inductive discontinuities in rectangular waveguides is presented. It can be used to analyze the scattering properties of E-plane uniform conductor-dielectric inserts in rectangular waveguides. These inserts are of arbitrary cross section and number. The calculation accuracy and speed are improved by a combined analytical-numerical approach. Some practical applications are given demonstrating its engineering usefulness.<
