Scattering at an offset circular hole in a rectangular waveguide

Abstract

A solution is given for the problem of scattering at an offset circular to rectangular junction and at a thick diaphragm, with an offset circular aperture, in a rectangular waveguide. The method used is mode matching for computing one discontinuity. The difficulty arising from the fact that the eigenmodes of the two waveguides are known in different coordinate systems is overcome by simple transformation for the evaluation of overlap integral between the eigenmodes of each waveguide. Experimental results validate this method. >
