| description | This paper presents a fast and computationally stable analytical algorithm used to perform the characteristic impedance of cylindrical multilayer waveguides used in high-precision sensors and apparatuses. Most of the algorithms used for the calculation of the characteristic impedance of those waveguides are based on approximations. Their application is limited to waveguides with a certain (usually small) number of layers. There may be insufficient layers, especially when coaxial waveguides are part of a precise measurement device. This article presents a numerically stable analytical algorithm using modified scaled Bessel functions to perform the characteristic impedance and the components of cylindrical coaxial multilayer waveguides. The results achieved by the extracted algorithm were compared to the results obtained by simulation using finite element method (FEM) software and the current method, whose main drawback is the fictive sublayers, which significantly increase the computation time. The excellent agreement between the results confirmed the precision of the algorithm and the time required for the calculation was reduced several times. |
