Abstract :
The pulsed FDTD method is used to analyse multiport junctions in rectangular waveguides. Two representative examples are considered, namely the H-plane tee junction and the folded H-plane tee junction. Computed results for the scattering parameters are compared to measurements performed by the authors.
