The authors are in violation of Maxwefls fifth equation (continuity of current), and are not considering the effect of the full current loop inside the circular waveguide, especially the effect of the return current through the lower inner wall of the waveguide. As a result, they are missing the presence of the TEM mode in the circular waveguide in the transition region O<z < L1. The circular waveguide in Fig. 1 is a two conductor transmission line in the region 0< z < LI because of the presence of the inner conductor (section AB) and,
