Abstract
Based on mode coupling theory, the general form of coupled second order differential equations for the longitudinal rf standing-wave amplitudes in a complex cavity with gradual transition is developed. The TM type non-principal modes generated due to mode conversion are systematically taken into account. Comparisions of numerical results including or excluding TM modes are made for several examples and some interesting results are obtained.
