Experimentally Investigated Electromagnetic Wave Propagation and Radiation in a Modified Metal-Dielectric Structure

Abstract

The waveguiding properties of a modified metal-dielectric structure have been investigated. Such a structure features distinctively by the ratio between the structure element dielectric constants. A special emphasis is attended to studying the electromagnetic wave radiation and propagation mechanism and the structure optimum excitation. The experimental data allow prediction of the possibility to design a variety of the functional elements with the high performance characteristics.
