ELECTRIC WAVE PROPAGATION IN PERIODIC MEDIA.
Abstract
Wave propagation and frequency dispersion characteristics are investigated for electromagnetic wave propagation in a periodic medium. The permittivity is square wave stratified about an average value along a single coordinate. The propagation characteristics for TE waves are studied through an analysis of the Hill differential equation. Transmission characteristics and an omega-beta diagram are derived from a stability chart typical in the study of a Hill equation. Experimental verification of predicted stop bands is accomplished with a standard laboratory microwave transmission system while the omega-beta diagram is experimentally verified by the well-known resonant cavity technique.
