Dielectric-air structure located between ideal metal plates is analyzed. It is shown that efficient mechanical alteration of propagation constant in this structure could be achieved only for those modes with non-zero component of electrical field perpendicular to border between dielectric and air. Scattering problem for the structure was reduced by partial domain method to set of 1-rst type Fredholm integral equations for the unknown tangential components of electric and magnetic fields at the boundaries of partial domains. The set of integral equations was solved by method of moments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
