Lossy Eigenvalue Calculations
In mode analysis and eigenfrequency analysis, it is usually the primary goal to find a propagation constant or an eigenfrequency. These quantities are often real-valued although this is not necessarily the case; if the analysis involves some lossy part, like a nonzero conductivity or an open boundary, the eigenvalue is complex. In such situations, the eigenvalue is interpreted as two parts (1) the propagation constant or eigenfrequency and (2) the damping in space and time.
