The paper proposes a method for S-matrix generalization to minimize discontinuities between one-axis rectangular guides in terms of reflection and transmission coefficients. We modelate successfully rectangular metal waveguide filters with geometrical and physical discontinuities, and a succession of heterogeneous media such periodic structure and containing Meta materials are presented. Method of S-matrix generalization based on modal development operating by breaking down electromagnetic fields on orthonormal basis for each formed discontinuity. Proposed hybrid method that reference to finite element method incorporation is discussed. We conclude that the Galerkin method application leads directly to the matrix of junction diffraction.
