A new formulation is proposed that uses the FFT to improve the efficiency of the technique. The advantages and difficulties of the application of the BCMM for solving this kind of structure are also discussed. Simulated results are compared with those obtained by other numerical techniques. Experimental measurements are shown.}, keywords = {BCMM method, boundary contour mode-matching method, boundary-value problems, fast Fourier transforms, FFT algorithm, measurements, mode matching, numerical techniques, short-slot directional waveguide couplers, short-slot waveguide couplers, slot lines, waveguide couplers BCMM analysis}, issn = {0-7803-7846-6}, doi = {10.1109/APS.2003.1219449}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/8636/27400/01219449.pdf?tp=\&isnumber=\&arnumber=1219449}, author = {J A Ruiz-Cruz and Rebollar, J M} }
