Abstract

A new canonical scattering problem consisting of the propagation of the dominant TEM mode at the finite-length impedance discontinuity in the outer conductor of a coaxial waveguide is solved. The contributions from the successive impedance discontinuities are accounted for through the solution of a modified Wiener-Hopf equation. Some graphical results displaying the reflection and transmission characteristic are presented.
