Abstract

An expedient methodology is presented for the predictive analysis of the impact of statistical disorder on the electromagnetic attributes of periodic waveguides. The proposed methodology makes use of ideas from the Anderson localization theory to derive closed-form expressions for the calculation of an effective exponential decay ratio that quantifies the impact of periodicity disorder on the transmission properties of the waveguide. The computational efficiency of the proposed method over Monte Carlo based alternatives is demonstrated through a specific example involving a periodically-loaded parallel plate waveguide.
