Rotational Process

The problem of guided electromagnetic-wave propagation over a rotating dielectric cylinder is solved by a boundary-value method assuming that the speed of rotation is much smaller than the velocity of light. From a numerical solution of the complex characteristic equation, the variation of the attenuation and the phase constants and their dependence on the speed of rotation are studied. The rotational process appears to divide the radial propagation constant inside a stationary cylinder into two waves with different propagation constants. The modes with positive and negative indices in the circumferential direction cease to be degenerate in the case of a rotating dielectric cylinder, and there appears to be a decrease in the attenuation with an increased speed of rotation for the dominant mode.

The Family

A dispersion equation is derived for a cylindrical waveguide of circular cross-section partially filled with chiroplasma. The propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves in the family of waveguide modes are studied. The dispersion curves are given. It is found that the propagation constant changes almost linearly with the chirality admittance for the parameters that we choose, and increases with increasing filled area.

Atmospheric Windows

Electromagnetic wave propagation is an invisible phenomenon that cannot be detected by the human senses. To understand wave propagation, one must first learn what wave propagation is and the basic principles that affect wave propagation. This chapter introduces the atmospheric windows which allow electromagnetic radiation from bands to penetrate Earth. Helmholtz equations, i.e. the equations which govern wave propagation, and the properties of waves (such as propagation constant and characteristic impedance) are then briefly explained. When waves encounter different media during its propagation, they may be reflected, refracted, or diffracted. These phenomena are also covered. The last part of this chapter concisely explains the terminologies commonly used to describe electromagnetic radiation.

Coated Wire

Propagation along a thin dielectric coated wire parallel to the interface between two homogeneous half-spaces is considered. The solution accounts for the presence of the interface provided the coating radius is small compared with the distance to the interface. The final results are simplified in form when dealing with long insulated antennas buried in the earth and operating at low frequencies. Some numerical data are provided for a representative set of conditions. It is found that the presence of the air/earth interface will modify the propagation constant; in some cases the attenuation rate may be increased over that for an infinite medium.
