A Canonical Test Problem for Computational Electromagnetics (CEM): Propagation in a Parallel-Plate Waveguide [Testing Ourselves]

This paper aims to provide a tutorial on computational electromagnetics (CEM), and simple MATLAB codes for sophisticated investigation of analytical and well-known numerical models. The problem of propagation inside a parallel-plate waveguide is used for this purpose.
