E and M waveguide theory spec. co-axial

[josh_einsle]

Hi all-

just looking for a few good references deriving the mode structure of coaxial waveguides. I have read through griffiths a few times but was not really happy. further consulted an edition of landau and lifgarbagez, but again came away dissatisfied. While I realize and understand what each text is doing, I need something that can he me understand naming conventions for different modes and approaches for analysing modes once identified. possibly actually need like and engineering text of some kind.

cheers

Check out these Rad Lab books:
Ragan, Microwave Transmission Circuits
Marcuvitz, Waveguide Handbook

I'd also add Balanis' "Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics." I just flipped through and he does not specifically discuss the coaxial cable like I thought he did, but he does discuss a large variety of waveguides (cylindrical included) and that will also give you a good background of the physics and conventions of the devices. Plus he also has some nice field distribution plots for the various modes of a circular waveguide that may prove to be elucidating.

thanks for that I will look those up at the library and see if I can find them.

I would suggest starting by looking at some specialized textbooks or research articles specifically focused on E and M waveguide theory for coaxial waveguides. These sources may provide more in-depth explanations and derivations of mode structures, as well as details on naming conventions and analytical approaches. Some potential resources to consider could be "Microwave Engineering" by David M. Pozar, "Electromagnetic Waves in Chiral and Bi-Isotropic Media" by Tom G. Mackay and Akhlesh Lakhtakia, or "Electromagnetic Theory for Microwaves and Optoelectronics" by Keqian Zhang and Dejie Li. Additionally, you may want to consult with experts in the field or attend conferences or workshops focused on E and M waveguide theory. Overall, it may take some additional research and exploration to find the best resources for your specific needs, but I am confident that with perseverance, you will find the information you are seeking. Best of luck in your studies!
