UDC 539.21We study the influence of dissipation in a semiconducting material with the semiconductordielectric periodic layered structure on the passband boundaries for eigenwaves. It is shown that allowance for losses in the superconductor leads to appearance of a bend in dispersion curves for the electromagnetic waves propagating in such a structure. In this case, the minimum value of the phase velocity of the wave is limited. It is found that if the collision rate is high, then one of the band boundaries in the region of cyclotron waves degenerates, i.e., the band "destruction" takes place.
