Study of Cylindrical Dielectric-Conductor Open Waveguides

Abstract

The paper presents the analytical solutions for the electromagnetic field components in pure TE and TM (Transversal Electric / Magnetic) modes, in the case of a cylindrical dielectric-conductor open waveguide. The expressions are used in order to investigate the efficiency of power transmission in axial direction considering a set of input variables such as frequency, dielectric thickness and dielectric permittivity.
