Dispersion Analysis of Periodically Loaded Transmission Lines with Twist Symmetry Using the Mode-Matching Technique
Description
A mode-matching formulation is presented and used to analyze the dispersion properties
of twist-symmetric transmission lines. The structures are coaxial lines periodically loaded with
infinitely thin screens, which are rotated with respect to each other to possess twist symmetry.
The results obtained using the proposed formulation are in good agreement with those of commercial
simulators. Furthermore, using the presented mode-matching formulation, it is demonstrated that
the propagation characteristics in the twist-symmetric structures are linked to the scattering and
coupling of the higher order modes. The physical insight offered by this analysis is valuable for the
design of various electromagnetic devices, such as filters, antennas, and phase-shifters.
