cascaded structures is calculated by the known generalized
S-matrix technique [8].
The convergence behavior of the BCMM method is
M N already demonstrated in [8] at the example of a rectangular
H-plane 90-bend in the waveguide Ku-band (WR 62
waveguide: 15.799 x 7.899). Good convergence
behavior may be stated already for about seven modes in
the waveguide ports and ten cavity modes in the

directly the corresponding modal scattering matrix at the
boundaries z;: a and b are the still unknown eigenmode
amplitude coefficients.
For the investigation of H-plane or E-plane
discontinuities, the subregion Y = I11 (i.e. the
inhomogeneous waveguide region with arbitrary contour r
may be assumed to be uniform in the corresponding
orthogonal direction (this is denoted in Fig. 1 by the
t-direction). Since, however also cascaded H-plane and
E-plane structures should be taken into account, the full set
of modes has to be considered in any case. The fields (1) are
expanded in terms of the complete set of cylindrical wave
functions, i.e. the solutions of the corresponding general
wave equation of a cylindrical waveguide with arbitrary
cross-section formed by the boundaries r, and the planes z r
