Abstract

Corrugated elliptic waveguide in actually extensive application is analyzed by using the mode matching method and Mathieu function. Considering space harmonics in the interior and higher order modes in the slot region of the corrugated elliptic waveguide, the dispersion equation of even TM modes is derived. The dispersion and attenuation characteristics as well as the influence of passband and stopband properties with the changes of structural parameter are investigated in detail. The calculated results in good agreement with ones in the relevant references are of very important values in theoretical studies and actual applications of corrugated elliptic waveguide for microwave engineering.
