The surface modes in the plasma circular cylindrical waveguide in a lo
ssy material are analyzed, particularly for the variations of their pr
opagation properties with plasma parameters and surrounding material.
The characteristic equations of surface modes are derived, and their r
elevant approximate solutions are given. The limit results of this pap
er are consistent with that given in literature's. The analysis show t
hat it can be used to improve the properties of mode suppressors and f
abricat cut-off attenuators.
