Full modal analysis of confocal coaxial elliptical waveguides
2000
An efficient method for analysing confocal coaxial elliptical waveguides is presented. Using elliptical coordinates, the differential Helmholtz equation is transformed into a linear matrix eigenvalue problem by means of the method of moments. The expressions of the vector mode functions for the full spectrum of these guides are constructed, including the TEM, TM and TE modes. The convergence of the method is very good, giving an efficient and accurate code. Comparisons with numerical results found in the technical literature validate the presented theory.
Potential and energy of some spheroidal charge distributions with azimuthal symmetry
1989
Abstract The Poisson equation is solved for three types of spheroidal charge distributions with azimuthal symmetry, namely, those depending on one cartesian coordinate, on the radial cylindrical coordinate and on the radial spherical coordinate. The energy of such distributions is found for the case of power functions of these coordinates and it has been normalized, computed and plotted for some low values of the exponent.
