Analysis and Optimization of Elliptic Ridged Waveguide with FDFD Technique and PSO Algorithm
Keywords:
Cutoff frequency, elliptical ridged waveguide analysis, finite difference frequency domain, microwave components, microwave filters, optimization, PSO, ridged waveguides, waveguide modesAbstract
A new design technique for elliptic ridged and sectoral waveguides is presented. The PSO technique has been employed, using FDFD to compute the propagation data of the guide. Conflicting requirements of wide bandwidth and high power handling capability are taken both into account with a suitable objective function.
