| Popis: | An open dielectric waveguide includes both guided propagating modes within the waveguide and radiating and evanescent modes that propagate transversely outside the waveguide. In this study, the leaky-wave characteristics of a cylindrical dielectric rod are investigated using the coefficient matrix of the system of characteristic equations and Davidenko’s method. Using the coefficient matrix of the system of characteristic equations simplified the derivative(s) required to use Davidenko’s method. The results obtained for a 10-mm radius structure with a relative dielectric constant of 4 showed that a second antenna mode region existed for higher-order hybrid HE modes and lower-order transverse magnetic (TM) modes. However, it did not exist for transverse electric (TE) modes. Additionally, the hybrid HE modes had larger leaky-wave spectrum and antenna mode regions than both the TE and TM modes. This demonstrates that for antenna applications, hybrid HE modes supply a wider frequency spectrum. |
