Synopsis

The types of modes which may exist in an infinite parallel-plate waveguide with a centrally-placed unidirectionally conducting screen are studied. The effect of bifurcating an infinite parallel-plate waveguide by such a screen in the region x>O is investigated when a transverse electric mode is incident on the bifurcated region. The problem is solved by the Wiener-Hopf method, and expressions are derived for the amplitudes and phases of the reflected and transmitted modes. It is found that the transmitted field contains a hybrid wave and a slow wave, and the reflected field contains transverse electric and transverse magnetic waves.
