Abstract
The analysis of a wide class of waveguide bends using the method of lines is suggested. The discretization is performed in radial direction. The cross section of the waveguide may consist of many inhomogeneous layers. Loss can be taken into account by using complex permittivities. The radiation loss is calculated by the use of absorbing boundary conditions. The presented algorithm is verified by the analysis of a rib waveguide bend. The results are in good agreement with those published in the literature
