In this paper, a rigorous study of rectangular waveguide partially filled with longitudinally magnetized ferrite is presented. The propagation constant as a function of frequency is first obtained using Transverse Operator Method. Through this study, we try to show the existence of the complex modes in this type of structures. In this case, the interface between an air filled rectangular waveguide and E-plane ferrite slab loaded rectangular waveguide represents a discontinuity problem. This analysis is based on a combination of the Transverse Operator Method and the Mode Matching Method to determine the scattering parameters. This proposed approach is validated by comparing the presented results with the published data and numerical ones obtained from commercial software.
