Propagation in a Waveguide Partially Filled with Anisotropic Dielectric Material

Abstract

A rectangular waveguide partially filled with an anisotropic dielectric material has been studied. The method of analysis has been shown to be quite powerful. A new configuration with a rectangular waveguide unsymmetrically loaded with a rectangular dielectric insert has been analyzed, tested experimentally. The special effects of mode coupling by breaking the symmetry of the structure are studied and the consequences for single-mode operation with application to masers in the millimeter-wave region are demonstrated.
