Analysis of an n-port consisting of a radial cavity and E-plane coupled rectangular waveguides

An analysis of an n-port including a radial or coaxial cavity and E-plane coupled rectangular waveguides is presented. A nonstandard field matching technique which exploits both circular and rectangular boundaries, is used to determine the scattering matrix parameters of the n-port. Validity of the analysis is verified through comparison with an alternative analysis and experiment.<
