The coupling between two immediately adjacent semi‐infinite parallel plate wave guides is calculated by ray methods. A simple expression is derived for the coupling of the N th mode in the driven guide into the n th mode in the parasitic guide. Numerical results are given for both TE and TM polarizations.
