We study models for propagation in circular tunnels. The excitation is either a circular magnetic or circular electric current loop. We produce expressions for the fields in terms of a Fourier transform over the axial variable. We then produce the modes in the lossy structure by contour integration techniques. We include numerical results for the field intensity both as a function of axial distance and as a function of radial distance for several frequencies, radii, and constitutive parameters of interest. We comment in particular concerning the specific form of the field both near to and far from the antenna source.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
