Sumario:This paper presents an eigenproblem for computing the resonances of multiresonant irislike discontinuities in waveguides. The formulation of the eigenproblem is based on integral equation methods, and its solution provides the resonance frequencies (eigenvalues) and the associated resonant aperture field's patterns (eigenvectors). These eigenvectors can be used as a basis for the expansion of the aperture fields at any frequency within the band of interest, thus leading to a significant reduction of the size of the method-of-moments admittance matrix. Moreover, under certain approximations, the orthogonality of the eigenvectors allows for the derivation of a Foster-like canonical equivalent circuit with capacitances and inductances that present a smooth frequency dependence. In order to obtain an equivalent Foster circuit with frequency-independent inductors and capacitors, a straightforward and simple iterative refinement is proposed. The circuit thus obtained accurately reproduces the response of the multiresonant irislike discontinuity over a wide frequency band.
