Abstract

A numerical model of several different waveguide sections connected in series (the waveguide transducer) is presented in this work. The practical application of this model is the calculation of the scattering and transmission parameters of a novel mm-wave integrated phased array (E. F. Zaitsev et al, Proc. Antenna App. Symp., 1997) input unit - the waveguide transducer from standard empty waveguide to layered ferrite-dielectric waveguide. To solve this complex electrodynamic problem a numerical method, different from the usually applied finite elements method, was used.
