Abstract

Modal absorbing boundary conditions are applied to a graded mesh using the hybrid node, and to homogeneous waveguides of arbitrary cross-section. The best performance is obtained with rectangular waveguides but examples show that the method can also be used for other geometries. A T-junction circular - to - sidecoupled rectangular waveguide example is given.
