摘要
A combined method using a finite-element technique for the transverse field component formulation and the surface integral equation method is proposed to treat the propagation characteristics of inhomogeneous waveguides with single or multiple claddings. The significant features of this combined method are that it does not suffer from any kind of spurious modes, and that it is also capable of treating the cutoff frequencies of arbitrarily shaped, inhomogeneous dielectric waveguides with a single cladding. The proposed method is convenient in treating propagation constants close to cutoff and in handling coupled waveguides. Numerical results of inhomogeneous elliptical waveguides, diffusion waveguides, and the corresponding directional couplers are presented, including the cutoff frequencies of the elliptical waveguides.
