Abstract
The attenuation coefficient of a rectangular dielectric line enclosed by a rectangular shield is obtained by the use of a rigorous mode-matching method to calculate the required mode field intensity. The cross section of the waveguide is overlaid by a grid, and numerical integration is used to determine the power flow, dielectric, and conductor losses and respective attenuation coefficients. To obtain experimental verification, a length of waveguide was made into a resonator, and measured and calculated Q factors were compared. The results for the E/sup y//sub 11/ mode show how the influence of the shield decreases with distance. This is relevant to the design of dielectric waveguide structures and in filter applications where dielectric resonators are used.
