Abstract :
This paper presents an original approach to analyze multimode waveguide discontinuities. The generalized scattering parameters are determined by a Matrix Pencil Moment Method (MPMM) associated with efficient numerically multimode matched loads placed at each physical port of the discontinuities. The analysis of both microstrip-coupled lines and coplanar lines asymmetric discontinuities is presented and successfully compared to experiments and available published results.
