wvglib - Suite of functions for the analysis of waveguides

Overview

This library contains a Python implementation of the equations used to analyse circular and rectangular waveguides. Currently the focus is on lossy waveguides, i.e. empty, air-filled ones embedded in a real dielectric. There is also a rudimentary module on circular waveguides with a conductive boundary, i.e. classical circular waveguides. Plans for the future include adding a submodule for rectangular metal waveguides.

Requirements

As my current Python development environment is a bit polluted, I'll list the required packages here. Apologies.

Python>=3.6
numpy
scipy
rflib -> in-house developed Python package, see this repo

Tests

To be added. Bad practice, I know.

Installation

Use pip install -e . in the folder to which you clone or download this. This will install rflib as an "editable" package in your current environment, meaning you should just do a git pull in the future to get any updates.

Contributing

Contributions are more than welcome and are in fact actively sought! Please contact Viktor at eenvdo@leeds.ac.uk.
