Comments on "Ridged Waveguides with Inhomogeneous Dielectric Slab Loading" [Letters]

Abstract :
In the above paper/sup1/, Magerl derives dispersion equations for TE/sub m0/ modes of ridged waveguide with inhomogeneous dielectric-slab loading. The existence of TE modes was evidently assumed a priori (a seemingly natural assumption); unfortunately, true TE modes do not exist in this waveguide (with a singuIar exception to be noted).
