Abstract
A methodology for analyzing the attenuation constant of surface wave propagating in general multilayer structures is proposed. The multilayer structure may include any number of layers, that can be made up of lossy dielectric, magnetic-material, and impedance surfaces. The non-linear characteristic equation (transverse resonance equation - TRE) of the multilayer structure is defined by utilizing transmission line (TL) theory. Consequently, the root(s) of the TRE is/are computed which indicates the complex propagation constant of that characteristic equation. The obtained results are validated over the completely shielded waveguide structures where the full wave simulation is possible. The proposed approach is employed to analyze and discuss the propagation and attenuation constant of surface wave modes in several representative examples. The analysis is carried out in the frequency range from 1 to 12 GHz.Keywords
