Abstract
In the letter symmetrical Y-junctions made of rectangular dielectric guides are studied theoretically and experimentally. Using the effective dielectric constant method (EDCM) we transform the dielectric guides into equivalent slabs; then the junction is analysed as a discontinuity. The theoretical prediction agrees very well with the experimental results. Modified guides, which greatly improve the transmission coefficient, were then studied.
