Abstract

In this paper, the efficiency of the diakoptic procedure, when applied to three-dimensional waveguide discontinuity problems, is improved by taking advantage of the separability of the time domain Green´s function that holds for homogeneous waveguides. The procedure has been applied to the analysis of waveguide discontinuities showing how absorbing boundaries generated with the modal diakoptic procedure provide wide-band matching for the fundamental mode as well as all of the TE and TM modes excited by the discontinuity. In addition, the modal approach leads to the generalized S matrix of a general discontinuity with a single TLM simulation
