The technique uses a surface integral equation formulation to treat both metallic and dielectric objects inside the component structure. In order to avoid the relative convergence problem of other techniques based on mode matching, a novel port treatment is used. The technique is based on the application of the extinction theorem using the spatial representation of the Green's functions and image theory. Different complex H-plane structures are analyzed, including microwave bandpass filters with elliptic transfer functions and waveguide bends with dielectric posts. Results show the high accuracy and versatility of the new technique derived KW - Teoría de la Señal y las Comunicaciones KW - Métodos de la función de Green KW - Paso de banda integral KW - Ecuaciones integrales KW - Filtros de microondas KW - Red multipuerto KW - Funciones de transferencia KW - Componentes de ondas guía KW - Discontinuidades de ondas guía KW - Green's function methods KW - Band pass integral KW - Equations integral (EI) KW - Microwave filter KW - Transfer functions KW - Waveguide components KW - Waveguide discontinuities KW - Multiport network LA - eng PB - Institute Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) ER -
