Abstract

By using the cross-section method, waveguide transitions containing parts where modes are in cutoff are analyzed. The problem of infinite value of coupling coefficients for modes in cutoff has been solved. Formulas for the calculation of reflection coefficients are presented. The results have been compared with the mode-matching and generalized scattering matrix methods
