Modes of Propagation of Electromagnetic Pulses in Closed Cylindric Bi-Isotropic Waveguides

Abstract

Modes of propagation of electromagnetic pulses in closed, cylindric waveguides with bi-isotropic fillings are analyzed systematically using complex, time-varying electromagnetic fields. The emphasis is on the circular bi-isotropic waveguide and the bi-isotropic parallel-plate waveguide. For both geometries, seven Volterra integral equations of the second kind, which are to be solved simultaneously for each specific mode, are derived.
