Higher-order mode filtering by a resistive layer
A method of higher-order modes filtering in an air-filled waveguide using a resistive layer is proposed. An analogue of Cremer's criterion is discussed and used to obtain the optimal modal attenuation of the non-planar waves while the plane wave is preserved. Numerical validation of the concept is performed for a straight waveguide and an abrupt expansion in a waveguide.
