PROPAGATION OF MICROWAVES ON A SINGLE WIRE PART II

Abstract

Expressions for the longitudinal and transverse impedance have been derived from the field components of the Eo wave with which the surface wave line is excited. Three different types of terminations have been attempted to match the line. The results of v.s.w.r. measurements with probe placed in the Ez and Er orientations at different radial distances from the surface wave line  exhibit the superiority of a tapered wooden termination fixed with cardboard fins sprayed with graphite as a matching device.
