Abstract
The coupling of surface waves by two crossed dielectric slab sections with curved transition waveguides is investigated by the method of staircase approximation. the coupling problem of the nonuniform structure is analyzed in terms of the scattering of incident surface wave by the crossed structure as a whole. The scattering characteristics of the crossed waveguides are calculated with a particular attention directed to the effect of radiation due to bending of the curved transition waveguides on coupling properties of the structure. Some useful guidelines for the design of the coupling structures are thereby suggested.
