Conductive cylindrical surface waveguides
Cylindrical surface waveguides are extremely useful for transporting a surface wave in one dimension with low attenuation when the medium surrounding the surface waveguide has low attenuation. Additionally, surface waveguides guide a pure low-order mode with no cutoff frequency and low distortion, …
