Propagation of TE01 Waves in Curved Wave Guides
01 January 1949
Propagation of TE0i Waves in Curved Wave Guides By W. J. ALBERSHEIM TEoi waves transmitted through curve wave guides lose power by conversion to other modes, especially to T M n . This power transfer to coupled modes is explained by the theory of coupled transmission lines. It is shown t h a t the power interchange between coupled lines and their propagation constants can be derived from a single coupling discriminant. Earlier calculations of TEoi conversion loss in circular wave guide bends are confirmed and extended to S-shaped bends. Tolerance limits for random deflections from an average straight course arc given.
