Al. Topa et al., FULL-WAVE ANALYSIS OF A NONRADIATIVE DIELECTRIC WAVE-GUIDE WITH A PSEUDOCHIRAL OMEGA-SLAB, IEEE transactions on microwave theory and techniques, 46(9), 1998, pp. 1263-1269
This paper presents a new microwave device-a nonradiative dielectric (
NRD) waveguide with a dielectric pseudochiral Omega-slab-the Omega-NRD
waveguide. A rigorous full-wave analysis is presented and the modal e
quations for the longitudinal-section magnetic (LSM) and longitudinal-
section electric (LSE) modes are derived. The dispersion curves and op
erational diagrams for the first hybrid LSM modes are presented. The e
ffect of the pseudochiral Omega-medium is discussed. New interesting m
odal features are revealed, showing that the propagation characteristi
cs may differ considerably from the common isotropic case.
