Transmittance in waveguide (Reflections on the input port).

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I calculate the transmittance in waveguide in air. And there is a reflections on the input port. But I have only real part of refractive indexes. Most likely it is coupled with PEC boundaries. Because when I had tried to increase air domain the reflections decreased. Maybe I can increase air domain greatly and I will get T = 100 %, but it will be very big mesh. I tried to set a PML. But it was worse than PEC case. In fact, reflections are from impedance inconsistencies. But how can I correct it? And I increased mesh. It didn't help. For example, model with PEC (see picture).

Moreover, I tried to simulate with all covered PML area (including ports' sides). But I can't start simulation cause ports don't work when it's not extreme boundary of the model.

I have got near to 100% transmition in strip Si waveguide in air but only at 1 frequency. Of course transmission must not depends on frequency in this case (only real refractive index).

Please, help me. I can't solve this problem quite long time.
