Abstract
The present work investigates the dispersion characteristics both for TM and TE modes in a grounded dielectric slab coated with double positive (DPS) material and double negative (DNG) material. The outermost dielectric layer is assumed to be free space. By employing proper boundary conditions at interfaces, dispersion relations for the aforementioned structure for both TM and TE modes are derived. Additionally, surface waves at the interface of free space and DPS/DNG coating are investigated. Existence of mode degeneracy for DNG/DPS combination has been discussed based on dispersion analysis.
