Coupled cavity model for disc-loaded waveguides

The coupled cavity model for calculation characteristics of inhomogeneous disc-loaded waveguides with taking into account the rounding of the disk hole edges was developed. On the base of this model simulation of section tuning process with the field measurement method was conducted. Accuracy of this method under tuning of disc-loaded waveguides was evaluated. As it follows from our investigation one can use simple coefficients in tuning process, but the needed values of these coefficients must be obtained by calculation of DLW parameters.
