Most of the analytical treatments of this scheme assume a linear variation of the undulator field with one of the transverse coordinates. While this assumption leads to a simplified and more tractable model, including higher-order multipoles allows us to offer a more complete and rigorous description of the system. In this paper, we investigate the magnetic field components of a TGU using both theory and simulation and explore the impact of higher-order multipoles on the FEL performance.
