Abstract:Abstract-The dispersion equation governing the guided propagation of TE and TM fast wave modes of a circular cylindrical waveguide loaded by metal vanes positioned symmetrically around the wave-guide axis is derived from the exact solution of a homogeneous boundary value problem for Maxwell's equations. The dispersion equation takes the form of the solvability condition for an infinite system of linear homogeneous algebraic equations. The approximate dispersion equation corresponding to a truncation of the inf… 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.
