Abstract The application of the coupled‐mode method (CMM) for calculating the propagation constants and the electromagnetic‐field distribution in chirowaveguides is well known. In this paper, two different formulations of the method are revised and compared, and are then extended to partially filled parallel‐plate waveguides. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
