Abstract
When the constitutive parameters of a linear, homogeneous, bianisotropic me dium are arranged in a certain way as a 6 X 6 dyadic, it is shown that the eigenvectors of that dyadic may yield admissible Beltrami field phasors who se wavenumbers are directly proportional to the corresponding eigenvalues.
