This letter presents the analysis of waveguide components comprising a cascade of step junctions by mode matching in conjunction with the variational meshless method (VMM). In particular, a large number of modal fields of the waveguides are calculated very efficiently by the VMM. Moreover, the collocation points are randomly distributed in each waveguide cross section, and the coupling coefficients are obtained regardless of their mutual distribution. The presented technique is validated through the analysis of two junctions reported in the literature and by comparison with an finite element method (FEM) full-wave software.

Abstract

This letter presents the analysis of waveguide components comprising a cascade of step junctions by mode matching in conjunction with the variational meshless method (VMM). In particular, a large number of modal fields of the waveguides are calculated very efficiently by the VMM. Moreover, the collocation points are randomly distributed in each waveguide cross section, and the coupling coefficients are obtained regardless of their mutual distribution. The presented technique is validated through the analysis of two junctions reported in the literature and by comparison with an finite element method (FEM) full-wave software.
