A Numerical Solution of the Layer-to-Layer Transition Problem as a Waveguide Diffraction Problem

Application of net-point methods to the solution of the layer-to-layer transition problem leads to the necessity to restrict the domain and formulate artificial boundary conditions. In the present work the introduction of an artificial coaxial for reducing the original problem to a waveguide diffraction problem is applied. The test results of the finite-element program that we developed, which demonstrate the high accuracy of the method, are considered. The investigated dependence of the solution on the artificial boundary location shows the rapid convergence of the method.
