## Abstract An improved parabolic‐equation‐based numerical method with Douglas scheme is developed for modeling the new 3D multilayered dielectric transmission waveguides. Unlike the traditional one, such waveguides are constructed by putting the multilayered dielectric cladding with step indices p

✦ Synopsis
A wa¨eguide structure consisting of a wedge-shaped dielectric region bounded by two conducting planes is introduced. An exact analytical solution of this wa¨eguide is presented. Propagation properties of the wa¨eguide, including modal fields, dispersion characteristics, cutoff conditions, and dielectric and conductor losses, are deri¨ed for all guided modes and are examined numerically for se¨eral lower order modes. This wa¨eguide supports only TE and hybrid modes, but not TM modes. Compared to hollow metal wa¨eguides, the wedge-shaped wa¨eguide can pro¨ide a wider single-mode frequency range, allowing more information to be transmitted.

Fundamental antenna effects of a dielectric substrate backed by a perfectly conducting ground plane and excited by elementary dipoles are studied. The effect of the surface wa¨es and the radiation efficiency as a function of substrate thickness and permitti¨ity are analyzed.
## Abstract A fast technique is proposed to determine the complex propagation constants of the leaky and Berenger modes of circular dielectric waveguides terminated by a perfectly matched layer (PML). The method relies on a coordinate transformation in the complex plane and uses the approximate ana
