Abstract:Infinite circular corrugated waveguide is analysed to investigate its ability to support modes with backward wave behaviour. Such waveguides provide an alternative structure, easier to manufacture than those already reported based on rectangular symmetry with corrugated walls or filled with frequency selective surfaces. The corrugations if sufficiently deep provide a guiding structure with the required series capacitance and shunt inductance to allow left-handed propagation within some frequency bands. These b… Show more
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.
