Abstract

In this paper, the dispersion characteristic of elliptical waveguide consisting of uniaxial anisotropic chiral medium is investigated. The eigenvalue equation for the waveguide that is to be studied is deduced by solving the Mathieu and modified Mathieu functions. The cutoff frequencies for several lower order even modes have been calculated and their dispersion characteristics are correspondingly plotted. The effects of elliptical eccentricity and chirality on the mode cutoff frequencies and mode transmission are examined numerically.
