Electromagnetic Surface Wave Propagation over a Bonded Wire Mesh

摘要: The electromagnetic surface wave that can propagate over a square mesh of intersecting parallel wires is considered. A combined analytical and numerical method developed earlier employed to deal with the interacting wire currents. For small spacings, propagation constant found be almost independent azimuthal direction propagation. This in agreement previous results obtained by Soviet investigators who utilize averaged boundary conditions for analyzing such bonded meshes. However, larger greater than about one tenth wavelength, there significant dependence on mesh. validity describing terms an effective transfer inductance related questions are discussed briefly Appendix.
