contents This study presents a finite difference method (FDM) to model the electromagnetic field propagation in eccentric coaxial waveguides filled with lossy uniaxially anisotropic media. The formulation utilizes conformal transformation to map the eccentric circular waveguide into an equivalent concentric one. In the concentric problem, we introduce a novel normalized Helmholtz equation to decouple TM and TE modes, and we solve this non-homogeneous partial differential equation using the finite difference in cylindrical coordinates. The proposed approach was validated against perturbation-based, spectral element-based, and finite-integration-based numerical solutions. The preliminary results show that our solution is superior in computational time. Furthermore, our FDM formulation can be extended with minimal adaptations to model complex media problems, such as metamaterial devices, optical fibers, and geophysical exploration sensors.
