In this paper, we apply a modified integral equation technique to analyze rectangular dielectric waveguides with elimination of spurious modes. The two stage method applies interior problem by modal analysis to access the electric field in the waveguide in terms of the electric field on the boundaries. The exterior problem can be solved by integral equation technique to calculate the boundary fields regarding to interior fields. Using this approach, the eigen value problem can be formulated by finding the zeros of the relating determinant. Eliminating the spurious modes, the zeros of each mode are distinctly distinguishable. The consequent dispersion diagram is also has good agreements with the results of other methods for rectangular dielectric waveguide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
