A new hybrid mode-matching method for the analysis of inductive obstacles and discontinuities

A new and efficient hybrid mode-matching method for the analysis of arbitrarily shaped inductive obstacles and discontinuities is presented. An open-space spectral method is used to model the electrical behavior of the inductive problem, and the mode-matching technique is then employed for obtaining a multimode scattering matrix representation. This new method is revealed very useful for the accurate and efficient analysis of inductive problems including very arbitrary geometries. Results for some classical inductive problems covered in the literature are shown, thus confirming the accuracy of the results provided by the new technique.
