The issue is resolved by creating a hybrid profile of these two profiles. Close to the ground, where the resistance of the atmosphere is largest, the properties of the DC global model exert the greatest influence, whereas in the middle atmosphere, at heights between 40 and 100 km, the full wave computations show that the AC results are the more crucial. This globally averaged hybrid profile harmonizes the AC and DC conductivity data, and it might be important for future studies.","PeriodicalId":6504,"journal":{"name":"2016 9th International Kharkiv Symposium on Physics and Engineering of Microwaves, Millimeter and Submillimeter Waves (MSMW)","volume":"72 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90290856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It turns out that this Hamiltonian is essentially non-Hermitian, and thus requires a special treatment. We formulate the density operator approach for dynamical systems with non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, and derive a master equation that describes the statistical ensembles of EM wave modes. The method provides a theoretical instrument which can be used when designing the next generation of quantum EM devices for sensitive and non-invasive measurements.","PeriodicalId":6504,"journal":{"name":"2016 9th International Kharkiv Symposium on Physics and Engineering of Microwaves, Millimeter and Submillimeter Waves (MSMW)","volume":"14 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82855078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This wave represents a “precursor” of wave structure. Above mentioned wave have some parts inside the dielectric rod and near the rod surface. The field distribution for this wave inside the dielectric rod is a rhombus-shape and consists of cones similar to Cherenkov wavefront. A part of this wave propagates in free space near the dielectric surface with the speed of light in free space. This wave propagates along the waveguide with the speed of light in free space as a whole wave structure. Such a guided wave structure differs from conventional waveguide modes since it does not have the same transverse field distribution in any cross-section. First this effect was investigated as a wave structure created by a localized source inside the open dielectric waveguide. The aim of this paper is to consider excitation of such a wave in closed circular waveguide with a dielectric rod and explore the possibility to create some resonance devices using this wave type. For the calculations BOR-FDTD method was used with PML boundary conditions.","PeriodicalId":6504,"journal":{"name":"2016 9th International Kharkiv Symposium on Physics and Engineering of Microwaves, Millimeter and Submillimeter Waves (MSMW)","volume":"38 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85199613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
