Description:
A selective modal scheme is proposed to efficiently analyze the problem of high-frequency (HF) electromagnetic (EM) coupling/penetration into or radiation from open-ended waveguides. This scheme is based on the phenomenon that at sufficiently high frequencies, the modes which contribute most significantly to the fields coupled into the waveguide are those whose modal ray directions are most nearly parallel to the incident-wave direction. This concept is illustrated by calculating the EM radiation and backscattering from open-ended parallel-plate, rectangular, circular, and sectoral waveguide geometries. The calculations use the usual geometrical optics, aperture field, and Ufimtsev edge current techniques. Also included are some measured results which further verify the accuracy of the above computations.
