A Plane Wave Expansion of Spherical Wave Functions for Modal Analysis of Guided Wave Structures and Scatterers
نویسنده
چکیده
A new finite plane wave series expansion for spherical wave functions of the first kind is presented in this paper. The formulation converts the spherical wave function described in the spherical coordinate system into a series of plane wave functions represented in the Cartesian coordinate system. The series expansion will be very useful in modal analysis of three dimensional guided wave structures and scatterers containing planar boundary surfaces. For a given range of orders and degree and for a region with , the same set of plane waves can be used. The theory is numerically verified for a wide range of parameters, showing its fast convergence characteristics. The plane wave expansions of the vector multipole fields can also be obtained.

Investigation and Comparison of Light Propagation in Two Graded Photonic Crystal Structures
In this paper, we study two different Graded Index (GRIN) photonic crystal (PC) structures which are named as structure type I and type II. The PC structures are made of the square rod in an air background. To design a GRIN PC structure the lattice constant has been altered in the direction transverse to propagation. We investigated focusing effect and waveguiding behavior of electr...
متن کاملA New Theorem Concerning Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves in Multilayered Metamaterial Spherical Structures
The proposed theorem in this paper is indicative of a kind of duality in the propagation of waves in the dual media of and in the spherical structures. Independent of wave frequency, the number of layers, their thickness, and the type of polarization, this theorem holds true in case of any change in any of these conditions. Theorem: Consider a plane wave incident on a multilayered spheric...

In this paper, first the limitations of the ray-based method and the one-way wave-field extrapolation migration (WEM) in imaging steeply dipping structures are discussed by some examples. Then a new method of the reverse time migration (RTM), used in imaging such complex structures is presented. The proposed method uses a new wave-field extrapolator called the Leapfrog-Rapid Expansion Method (L...
متن کاملA Full-Wave Modal Analysis of Arbitrarily Shaped Waveguide Discontinuities Using the Finite Plane-Wave Series Expansion
A full-wave electromagnetic model for analyzing waveguide discontinuities of arbitrarily shaped piecewise planar boundaries is presented. The analysis is facilitated by using the finite plane-wave series expansion of circular cylindrical modal functions. Since electromagnetic fields on each of the planar boundary surfaces of the inhomogeneous region are expressed in terms of plane-wave modal fu...
