    Abstract. In the review form, methods of mathematical analysis of regular dielectric waveguides having arbitrary cross section and arbitrary filling, are described. Some general properties of modes are determined. A variational technique as a method for solving the corresponding homogeneous problems is given. Three asymptotical cases (small jump of permittivity, high frequencies, low frequencies) are investigated in detail. In particular, it is established that in the first two cases the transversal magnetic field is linear polarized if degeneration is absent. Close to the critical frequency, the mode dispersive equation has the same form as for HE1m in the circular waveguide. A case of three-component waveguide with arbitrary shape of wave-leading vein is considered too.

    Abstract. A segment of the quasioptical line consisting of a series of sloped semitransparent mirrors is considered as a radiation system. The problem consists in determining the variable parameters (reflection and transmission factors) of the mirrors, which provide forming a given directivity pattern by reflected beams. The modulus of normalized inner product of given and obtained patterns is used as an optimization criterion. An iterative algorithm for solving this problem is proposed. The algorithm improves the parameters of all mirrors by turn. A special transformations of the criterion expression permit to minimize the calculation expenses for this procedure. Numerical results concerning lines of 4 and 10 mirrors are presented.

    Abstract. The methods and algorithms of the amplitude distribution synthesis needed for increasing the Wireles Power Transmission (WPT) efficiency are discussed.

In this case the receiving antenna (rectenna) is illuminated uniformly enough and the level of the near side lobes is essenciely decreased. Peculiarities of requirements to the field are discribed. Some numerical results concernig the optimal field distributions on the antenna and in the rectenna plane are presented.
