DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF AN OPEN-ENDED WAVEGUIDE PROBE FOR MATERIAL CHARACTERIZATION by MATTHEW ALAN KEMPIN A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the MISSOURI UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING 2013 Approved by Dr. Surducan, here dielectric waveguide refers to waveguide made up of dielectric material. In my case for example a solid cylindrical structure of High Density Polyethylene is being used (in In this section, we develop the properties of waves guided by a planar sheet of dielectric material. The waves that we find are typical of those found in integrated optical systems and in the more commonly used optical fibers of circular cross-section. A planar version of a dielectric waveguide is pictured in Fig. 13.5.1. waveguide is made with a high-dielectric-constant, low-loss material such as alumina or sapphire. The waveguide takes the form of thin dielectric ribbon surrounded by lossless dry air. guiding mechanism is available, based on total internal reflection at a dielectric interface. 6.2 GUIDED WAVES IN A SLAB DIELECTRIC WAVEGUIDE Figure 6.2-1 shows more useful structure, a dielectric waveguide. materials become feasible and examination of the behavior of systems and devices a potentially fruitful topic. The most promising area of research, upon inquiry into past work related to DNG materials, proves to be dielectric waveguides. The present Waveguides. A. Nassiri. Lecture 5. Massachusetts Institute of Technology RF Cavities and Components for Accelerators USPAS 2010 2 Waveguides are used to transfer electromagnetic power efficiently from one point coaxial conductors and of the dielectric between the conductors (dielectric voltage.
