Análisis teórico–experimental de medios quirales isótropos en guía rectangular

Abstract

In this communication a description of the hybrid technique combining the coupled mode method (CMM) and the mode matching method (MMM) is presented. This numerical tool is suitable for the analysis of general 3D structures implemented in rectangular waveguide. Also, this formulation is independent of the number of discontinuities of the structure. As an example, the analysis of a 3D structure formed by the arrangement of a waveguide section filled with an isotropic chiral material and inserted between to empty waveguide sections is proposed. Finally, the structure has been implemented in a rectangular waveguide and comparisons between the theoretic and experimental results are established.
