A Parallel Plate Waveguide With Only One Conductor

Abstract

The parallel plate waveguide consisting of two perfectly conducting plates enclosing a homogeneous, isotropic medium is very well known. In this report, a parallel plate waveguide containing an inhomogeneous permittivity function of specific form is considered. Assuming an exponential dielectric function of position, it is possible to eliminate one of the waveguide conducting plates and still keep the electromagnetic field closely confined to the remaining plate and held within the inhomogeneous region.
