Abstract

A bianisotropic waveguide can be defined as a cylindrical waveguide filled with bianisotropic materials, and all the conventional waveguides are special cases of the bianisotropic waveguide. In this paper, guided wave propagation in bianisotropic waveguide is analyzed by the theory of linear operators, and two types of adjoint waveguides and inner products are introduced respectively. Based on the concept of adjoint waveguides, the functional expressions of the field equations can be obtained, and from which the eigenvalue problem of the bianisotropic waveguide can be solved. Also, bi-orthogonality relations of guided modes are derived. These biorthogonality relations reported here can be used to expand electromagnetic fields in terms of a complete set of modes in straight bianisotropic waveguide. As an example of application, mode matching formulae for a discontinuity problem are given.
