Some Hypotheses in the Theory of the Azimuthally Magnetized Circular Ferrite Waveguides

Abstract

Hypotheses for the eigenvalue spectrum, phase characteristics and differential phase shift of the circular waveguides that comprise azimuthally magnetized ferrite are advanced, generalizing results from the theory of these transmission lines, worked out in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions. Some corollaries of the proposed statements are considered. Numerical substantiation of the assumptions is made for two configurations, using iterative methods. Computational problems which arise in the analysis are discussed.
