Ferrite Slabs in Transverse Electric Mode Wave Guide

Abstract

The transversely magnetized slab operating in a parallel-plane-type transverse electric mode may be examined from an operational viewpoint. Characteristics of the wave-guide mode emerge from considerations of symmetry and some results are derived that are not evident from a first-order perturbation theory. Operators are developed associated with various transverse strata of the wave-guide cross section corresponding to slabs of different media within the guide. The use of these operators is systematized in application to propagation problems in both rectangular and coaxial type transmission lines. Ferromagnetic resonance is explored in ferrites obeying a reactive Polder tensor-type description and some features of resonance are discussed.
