Efficient Analysis of Ferrite Loaded Waveguides Using the MRFD Method

Abstract

A full wave two-dimensional Multiresolution Frequency Domain formulation for efficient analysis of the dispersion characteristics of ferrite loaded waveguide structures is developed and presented. It has been concluded that the proposed formulation, which takes advantage of the compactly supported wavelet bases to expand electric and magnetic fields, allows coarser discretization compared to conventional Finite Difference Frequency Domain (FDFD) scheme. The efficiency and accuracy of the newly developed formulation, in comparison to FDFD method, is demonstrated by solving the dispersion characteristics of fully and partially ferrite loaded waveguide structures.
