Field Expressions and Patterns in Elliptical Waveguide

Page 865.

Abstract:

The elliptic waveguide have been used in several systems such as satellite communication and radar feed lines. In this paper, the field expressions in Fourier series are obtained. The field patterns with over 30 modes with three eccentricities (e=0.3,0.75,0.9) are plotted.
