Properties of unproper gliding and leakage waves in dissipative waveguide structures

摘要

Improper gliding and leakage waves in dissipative structures are considered. Such gliding surface wave is the Zenneck wave over the dissipative plane, the existence of which in a number of publications is in doubt until the present days. Here we show the falsity of such publications and give a historical overview on the mentioned problem. The calculated parameters of the Zenneck wave over the sea, along the border of air-ionosphere, above the metal and along the wire are presented. The results for gliding and leakage waves in some complex dissipative structures are presented.
