Polarities of electromagnetic-wave modes in a magnetoplasma-filled cylindrical waveguide

Polarities of several ultra-low-electromagnetic-wave modes propagating in a magnetoplasma-filled cylindrical waveguide under typical conditions I e st udied. Analytical and numerical results show that the polarity of a wave mo de determined using a conventional propagation factor is reasonable only in some limited parameter regions, and thus must be analyzed using rotational direction of the resultant transverse components of an electromagnetic-wav e electric field along the force line of an external magnetic field. EHp mo des appearing in the range of omega (pe) > omega are physical dominant righ t-hand polarized modes.
