Field patterns in asymmetrical double groove guide by finite element method

摘要

The electromagnetic power coupling in asymmetrical double-groove guide is analyzed by finite element method (FEM) in this paper. The electrical field patterns of the dominant mode and the first higher-order TE mode have been presented. The electromagnetic field of the dominant mode is distributed with a concentration of energy in the wide groove region, while the electromagnetic field of the first higher-order TE mode is distributed with a concentration of energy in the narrow groove region. The results in this paper have important values in design of groove guide power coupler for millimeter wave applications.
