Abstract Wave propagation along a rectangular multiple groove guide is rigorously
studied. The Fourier transform is used to obtain simultaneous equations for the modal
coe cients in rapidly-convergent form. The dispersion characteristics of a multiple
groove guide and its eld distribution plots are presented.
1 Introduction
A rectangular groove guide 1] is a low-loss and high-power guiding structure. A
double-groove guide has been extensively studied to assess its utility as a waveguide
or power coupler at 100GHz in 2]. It is of practical interest to understand guiding and
coupling characteristics of a multiple groove guide which consists of a nite number
of parallel rectangular groove guides. The purpose of the present short paper is to
present an exact and rigorous solution for a multiple groove guide by utilizing the
Fourier transform which was used to analyze a single rectangular groove guide 3].
The Fourier transform approach allows us to represent a solution in rapidly convergent
1
2. series. In next section, we present a rigorous dispersion relation for a multiple groove
guide.
2 Field Analysis
Consider a multiple rectangular groove guide in Fig. 1 (N : the number of groove
guides). Assume the TE-wave propagates along the z-direction such as H (x; y; z) =
H (x; y)ei z and the e i!t time-factor is suppressed throughout. In region (I) ( d <
y < 0), (II) (0 < y < b), and (III) (b < y < b + d), the Hz components are

to nd by using a root-searching scheme with an initial guess based on a singlegroove case. Fig. 2 illustrates the dispersion characteristics for a multiple groove
guide, con rming that our solution agrees with 2] when N = 2. Our computational
experience indicates that a dominant-mode approximation with m = 0 is almost
identical with a more accurate solution including 3 higher-modes. Fig. 3 shows the
magnitude plots of Hz component for the TE p modes (p = 1; ; 4) where p signi es
the number of half-wave variation of Hz component along the x-axis. The eld plots
illustrate that Hz remains almost uniform in the x-direction within the groove, thus
con rming the validity of a dominant-mode approximation.

3 Conclusion
A simple, exact and rigorous solution for the multiple groove guide is presented and
its dispersions are numerically evaluated. Our numerical computation for the doublegroove dispersion characteristics agrees with other existing solution. The eld plots
for a quadruple groove guide illustrate the eld distributions of various modes existing
within the groove guide.
