Abstract:An analysis of a launching configuration enables the radiation loss associated with the feed region of a millimetre wave insular guide to be assessed. Series expansions of the guide fields are used in conjunction with a variational formulation of the launcher loss which is computed for various guide parameters and dimensions . An alternative assessment of loss based on a chopped surface wave distribution is also presented and reveals other effects present. Finally a comparison with typical launching losses for… Show more
