Abstract :
A technique is presented for the analysis of propagation in a circular waveguide periodically loaded with irises of finite thickness. The propagation constants of the Floquet modes are determined from the classical eigenvalues of a characteristic matrix instead of a nonlinear determinant equation. Numerical results are presented for the TE0n modes and compared with available data. Excellent agreement is documented
