  ABSTRACT: The plane wave numerical technique is recast from Ampere’s and Faraday’s laws for materials that are characterized with a bianisotropic form of the constitutive relations. The populating expressions are provided for the eigenvalue matrix system that can be directly solved for the angular frequencies and field profiles when bianisotropy is included. To demonstrate the computation process and expected state diagrams and field profiles, numerical computation examples are provided for a bianisotropic Bragg Array with central defect. It is shown that the location of the magnetoelectric tensor elements has a significant effect on the eigenstates of an equivalent isotropic (anisotropic) structure. One form of the magnetoelectric tensor (diagonal elements only) leads to the observation of merging states and the formation of exceptional points. The numerical approach presented can be implemented as an add-on to the familiar plane wave numerical technique.
