Wave Propagation through a Waveguide Filled with a Semiconductor in a Transverse Magnetostatic Field

138-143The characteristics of electromagnetic waves through a semiconducting material in a rectangular wave guide in the presence of a transverse magnetic field applied normal to the waveguide axis have been investigated. The general solution for the dispersion relation has been developed by adopting the principle of separation of variables. With certain limitation on applied magnetic field, phase and attenuation constants have been computed for the waveguide filled with semiconducting material. The propagation characteristics and effect of waveguide dimension on propagation are discussed for different types of modes. A comparative study of propagation characteristics is also done for liquid nitrogen and room temperatures
