            Abstract : 
In this paper, we develop an electromagnetic analysis of a rectangular waveguide loaded with a dielectric model that is composed of a leaf plant with a neglected thickness. One numerical method is used for modeling the proposed structures: the moment method combined with Generalized Equivalent Circuit (MoM-GEC). We can determine the wave diffraction according to the dielectric properties. Our obtained electromagnetic field verified the boundary condition.
