SOME THEORETICAL INVESTIGATIONS ON DIELECTRIC ROD WAVEGUIDE

Abstract

The propagation characteristics of the HE ll-mode launched on a circular cylindrical dielectric rod wave guide such as the radial propagation constant, the axial propagation constant and the guide wavelength at 3.2 ems wavelength have been studied theoretically as a function of the diameter and the dielectric constant of the rod. The electric field distributions and the power flow as a function of the diameter and the dielectric constant of the rod have also been calculated for both inside and outside the rod.
