The general expressions for finding the network functions, e.g.,
the immittance and the scattering parameters, of a general, uniformly
coupled n-line structure in an inhomogeneous medium are derived in
terms of the normal mode parameters of the system. These are used to
compute or to derive the explicit expressions for...
Multiport network functions, such as impedance matrix
parameters and scattering parameters, of general multiple
coupled slab waveguides are derived in terms of the normal
mode parameters of the system. These characteristic normal
mode parameters include the propagation constants, the
modal impedances, and the eigenvector matrices. It is
shown that the...
