Gyrotropic waveguides
Abstract
The monograph contains significant generalizations and extensions, not published before. The treatment is formulated in terms of matrix methods instead of the vector notation used originally. This approach is ideally suited to the description of anisotropic media and results in greater economy of presentation and enhanced analytical clarity. Also the matrix form of Maxwell's equations turns out to be unexpectedly advantageous. The tensors of the lossless gyrotropic medium are considered along with bulk wave modes of the lossless gyrotropic medium, TE and TM modes in gyrotropic waveguides, the general equations of the planar gyrotropic waveguide, the longitudinally magnetized gyrotropic waveguide, and the normally magnetized gyrotropic waveguide. Other topics discussed are related to planar gyrotropic waveguides with metallic boundaries, cylindrical gyrotropic waveguides, and a medium without cylindrical symmetry.
