Electromagnetic Waves Propagating along the Strip Transmission Line in Magnetic Fields

Abstract

Normal modes of the electromagnetic wave propagating along the strip transmission line in magnetic fields are investigated under the local-collisionless approximation to the dielectric function of magnetoplasmas. Modes are classified and the dispersion relation is derived for three configurations of the static external magnetic field: (i) parallel to the wave vector along the line (ii) perpendicular to the surface of the walls (iii) parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the wave vector. Several characteristics of the dispersion are studied. The dispersions are illustrated numerically for n-type InSb.
