Introduction
For development of devices based on ridged structures one needs to know modal characteristics of ridged waveguides, namely, modes cutoff frequencies and field distributions. The characteristics of ridged waveguides eigenmodes for rectangular cross-section have been analyzed in [1, 2], for square — in [3], for circular — in [1], for elliptical — in [4], for rectangular coaxial — in [5]. In [6] authors of this paper have solved the electrodynamics boundary problem for the sectoral coaxial ridged waveguides (SCRW) using transverse field-matching technique (TFMT).
In this paper we present results of numerical research of the eigenmodes in SCRW using TFMT. Results for cutoff wave numbers are compared with those obtained in [7, 8] by integral equation technique (IET).
Configurations of hollow SCRW under study and denotations of their cross sectional dimensions are shown in Fig. 1, namely the SCRW with a ridge on the inner wall is shown in Fig. 1 a, and the SCRW with a ridge on the outer wall is shown in Fig. 1 b (hereinafter referred to as subscripts "in" and "out" respectively). Only the modes, for which the SCRW symmetry plane is a magnetic wall, are investigated.

Cutoff wave numbers
In this section we investigate cutoff wave numbers of several modes of both SCRW configurations (Fig. 1) with fixed flare angle a = 86° at the resizing of relative ridge height h for different angular ridge sizes у and inner-to-outer radii ratios. The results of calculations of cutoff wave numbers multiplied by the outer radius of the SCRW with a ridge on inner (kc inb) or outer (kc out a) wall obtained by TFMT and IET [7, 8], which are implemented in our own software, are shown in Fig. 2-7. The deviation between the results for cutoff wave numbers obtained by these two techniques is less than 0.5 %.

Fig. 7. Cutoff wave numbers (kc out a) of the SCRW with a ridge on outer wall
The results for the SCRW with a ridge on inner wall are shown in Fig. 2-4, and for SCRW with a ridge on an outer wall — in Fig. 5-7. In Fig. 2-7 the dependences of cutoff wave numbers on relative height h = (d-a)/b are shown at Y = 10, 30, 50° and a/b = 0.3; 0.5; 0.7 (Fig. 2-4) and h = (a-d)/a at у = 10, 30, 50° and b/a = 0.3; 0.5; 0.7 (Fig. 5-7) respectively.
As one can see in Fig. 2-7 at any geometrical configurations of SCRW the fundamental mode is TE one. At inner-to-outer radii ratio less than 0.5 and low ridge ((d-a)/b <0.05 for the SCRW with a ridge on inner wall or (a-d)/a <0.05 for the SCRW with a ridge on outer wall) the second mode is TM one. Increasing of the ridge height or inner-to-outer radii ratio results in the second mode becomes TE one. The SCRW with relatively high ridges are mostly used in practice, thus single-mode operation frequency band of the SCRW is determined by cutoff frequencies of the two lower TE modes.
Solutions convergence for electric field components distributions Let us carry out convergence analysis of electric field components distributions depending on the number of partial modes M. The calculations have been performed for the fundamental TE mode in both SCRW configurations (Fig. 1). For the SCRW with a ridge on inner wall we set dimensions ratios and angles as follows: a = 86°, у = 30°, a/b = 0.5, (d-a)/b = 0.4, and for the SCRW with a ridge on outer wall - as follows: a = 86°, у = 30°, £/<2=0.5, (a-d)!a = 0.4.

Fig. 9. Fundamental TE mode electric field azimuthal component distribution (parameter is
a number of partial modes M)
The electric field radial component Er computed at the interface between the regions I and II is shown in Fig. 8, and the azimuthal one Еф — in Fig. 9. In the
both figures the results obtained utilizing 10, 20 and 30 partial modes are shown by dotted, dashed and solid lines respectively. As one can see in Fig. 8, 9 the electric field distributions peaks become sharper as the number of partial modes M increases. Besides, level of electric field radial component in the gap between the ridge and the cylindrical wall decreases and its distribution in the gap becomes more uniform (Fig. 8). The distributions obtained by TFMT at the utilization of 30 partial modes are in good agreement with those obtained by IET with correct singular field behavior at the ridge [8]. Consequently, for the correct calculation of the SCRW field distributions by TFMT one should utilize not less than 30 partial modes.
Electric field components distributions
In this section we investigate electric field distributions in the SCRW of both configurations with the same geometry which was set in the convergence analysis of cutoff wave numbers and electric field components distributions. In Fig. 10-18 electric field components distributions normalized to the maximal values are shown for three lower TE modes, and in Fig. 19-21 — for the first TM mode. Electric field components distributions for the SCRW with the ridge on inner wall are shown in Fig. 10a-21a, for the SCRW with the ridge on outer wall — in Fig. 10 A—21 b.
The radial components of electric field Er are shown in Fig. 10, 13, 16, 19, and the azimuthal ones Еф — in Fig. 11, 14, 17, 20. In Fig. 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20 field distributions at cylindrical surface with the radius (a + b)/2, that corresponds to the middle of the SCRW lateral regions, are shown by dashed line, at the surface with the radius d, that corresponds to the interface between the regions I and II, — by solid line, at the surface with the radius (b + d)/2, that corresponds to the middle of the gap between the ridge and the cylindrical wall, — by dotted line.

All electric field components distributions computed by TFMT and shown in Fig. 10-21 are in good agreement with those obtained by IET with correct taking into account singular field behavior at the ridge [8]. This confirms the correctness of the results obtained.
Having compared Fig. 2-4 with Fig. 5-7 one can see, that cutoff wave numbers of the first TE and TM modes depend on relative ridge height for both SCRW configurations almost identically. Cutoff wave number and cutoff frequency of the SCRW fundamental TE mode decreases monotonically as the ridge height increases. At the same time electric and magnetic fields of the fundamental mode are concentrated near the edge of the ridge and in the gap between the ridge and the cylindrical wall of the SCRW (Fig. 10-12).

the cylindrical wall. It can be inferred from Fig. 10, 11 that the maximal values of radial and azimuthal components of fundamental mode electric field are obtained near the ridge edges. Moving away from the ridge edge in any direction the azimuthal component of electric field decreases drastically and it almost completely centred in the vicinity of the ridge edge.
It is seen in Fig. 13 and 16 that the electric field radial component of two higher TE modes at ridge edges is in-phase with the field in the gap between the ridge and the cylindrical wall for the SCRW with the ridge on outer wall and is anti-phase with it for the SCRW with the ridge on inner wall.

It can be concluded from Fig. 19-21 that at the relatively high ridge the electric field components of the first TM mode are concentrated in the lateral regions of the SCRW. This is induced by the fact, that the longitudinal component of electric field is tangential to the surface of the ridge and to the cylindrical wall of the SCRW. At the narrow gap this component is extruded from it. The transversal components of electric and magnetic fields of TM modes are determined by the longitudinal component of electric field. That’s why electric and magnetic fields of lower TM modes are almost absent in the narrow gap.

It has been shown that for the correct calculation of SCRW field distributions by TFMT one should utilize more

than 30 partial modes. In this case electric field components of the fundamental TE mode are concentrated near the edge of the ridge and in the gap between the ridge and the cylindrical wall. Maximal values of electric field radial and azimuthal components of this mode take place near the ridge edges. Moving away from the ridge’s edge in any direction the azimuthal component of electric field decreases drastically and it almost completely centred in the vicinity of the ridge edge. These results completely confirm singular behavior of the electric field components at an edge.
