These random perturbations are assumed to have long-range correlation properties. In the waveguide, a monochromatic wave can be decomposed in propagating modes and evanescent modes, and the random perturbation couples all these modes. The paper presents an asymptotic analysis of the mode-coupling mechanism and uses this to characterize the transmitted wave. The paper presents the first fully rigorous characterization of wave propagation in long-range non-layered media. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01132350v3/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01132350v3/file/waveguide_gomez_solna3.pdf %L hal-01132350 %U https://hal.science/hal-01132350 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ I2M %~ I2M-2014- %~ AMIDEX %~ ANR
