Abstract
Natural modes of helical structures are treated by using the periodic dyadic Green's functions in cylindrical coordinates. The formulation leads to an infinite system of one-dimensional integral equations in reciprocal (Fourier) space. Due to the twisted structure of the waveguide together with a quasi-static assumption the set of non-zero coefficients in reciprocal space is sparse and the formulation can therefore be used in a numerical method based on a truncation of the set of coupled integral equations. The periodic dyadic Green's functions are furthermore useful in a simple direct calculation of the quasi-static fields generated by thin helical wires.
