In general, this problem has no exact solution, thus numerical techniques should be used. In this article, the pseudospectral frequency-domain (PSFD) method is proposed to address the problem. Starting from the Helmholtz equation, a matrix eigenvalue problem is obtained by applying the collocation technique with Chebyshev polynomials as basis functions. The results obtained are compared with those calculated by the conventional finite-difference frequency-domain method showing that the PSFD technique provides an excellent accuracy.}, organization = {This work was supported in part by the Spanish Government (MCIU/AEI) and the European Commission (FEDER, UE) under Research Projects PGC2018-098350-B-C21 and PGC2018-098350-B-C22.}, publisher = {John Wiley and Sons Inc.}, publisher = {Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, 2020, 62(9), 2830-2834}, title = {Pseudospectral frequency-domain analysis of rectangular waveguides filled by dielectrics whose permittivity varies continuously along the broad dimension}, author = {Pereda Fernández, José Antonio and Grande Sáez, Ana María}, }
