The Multimode Interference (MMI) mechanism is a powerful toool used in the analysis and design of a certain class of optical, microwave and millimeter wave devices.
The principles of the MMI method and the self-imaging principle is described. Using this method, NXM MMI couplers, MMI splitter/combiners are analyzed.
Computer simulations for illustrating the " / Multimode Interference Mechanism" / are carried out.
The MMI approach is used to analyze overmoded ' / rectangular metallic' / and ' / dielectric slab' / type of waveguides and devices.
The application of the MMI technique is investigated experimentally by using a metallic waveguide structure operating in the X-band. The construction of the related structure and the related experimental work are reported.
