Abstract :
This paper illustrates the weighted extended b-splines as basis functions of finite element method of arbitrary domain for waveguides. This method does not need mesh generation for applications. The results are compared with the finite element method with triangulation method using Lagrange basis functions. This method can be used in more electromagnetic applications for future studies.
